Anugita Anugita is an ancient Sanskrit text embedded in the Book 14 (Ashvamedhika Parva) of the Hindu epic the "Mahabharata". "Anugita" literally means an "Anu" ("continuation, alongside, subordinate to") of "Gita". The original was likely composed between 400 BCE and 200 CE, but its versions probably modified through about the 15th- or 16th-century. It is regarded by Hindus as an appendix to the "Bhagavad Gita" found in Book 6. Like it, the "Anugita" is one of the treatises on Dharma (ethics, moral precepts). Anugita is, in part, a retelling of some of the ethical premises of the "Bhagavad Gita" through legends and fables, instead of the distilled philosophy found in the "Bhagavad Gita".
