Correct. Mahabharata, Asvamedha Parva. The history of the Pandava brothers and of the great fratricidal war of Kurukshetra. By Jaimini. This work is quite distinct from the Mahabharata of Vyasa, and contains many narratives and descriptions which do not occur in Vyasa's work. It is, however, no longer extant in its entirety-superceded, probably, by the more elegant recession of Vyasa. The only portion extant is the Asvamedha section, on the sacrifice of a horse, and it is about four times the size of Vyasa's version. The codex under notice professes to be complete in 69 chapters, but in the Berlin codex, noticed by Weber, there are 81 chapters.
