There are hundreds of characters! Furthermore any one character is often
referred to by various epithets. However, for an excellent geneological
chart of the main characters see J.A.B. Van Buitenen's translation of the
Adiparvan (_The Mahabharata_ vol.1; University of Chicago Press. 1973.)
This translation consists only of the first three of the eighteen parvans
(vol.1 = Adiparvan; vol.2 = Sabhaparvan and Vanaparvan).
