The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. It is an epic narrative of the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kauravas and the Pandava princes as well as containing philosophical and devotional material, such as a discussion of the four goals of life. Here we have Anusasana Parva, the thirteenth, which starts on the battlefield, where Bhishma is lying on a bed of arrows shot by Arjuna. It follows final instructions from Bhishma to Yudhisthir called Anushashana. Bhishma tells Yudhisthir of nine duties belonging to all 4 orders of society. These duties include; justice, maintenance of dependents, avoidance of quarrel, purity, suppression of anger, forgiveness, begetting children by one's own wife, avoidance of quarrel, and simplicity. Vyasa is a revered figure in Hindu traditions. He is a kala-Avatar or part-incarnation of God Vishnu. Vyasa is sometimes conflated by some Vaishnavas with Badarayana, the compiler of the Vedanta Sutras and considered to be one of the seven Chiranjivins. He is also the fourth member of the Rishi Parampara of the Advaita Guru Parampar¿ of which Adi Shankara is the chief proponent.
Autorenporträt
Krishna Dvaipayana is a respected sage who is depicted in almost all Hindu traditions. He is widely recognized as the author of the epic Mahabharata. Many Hindus consider Vyasa to be a partial incarnation of the god Vishnu and the compiler of the Vedic mantras into four Vedas, as well as the author of the eighteen Puranas and the Brahma Sutras. He is one of Chiranjeevis' eight immortals, meaning that he is still alive in the current Kali yuga. Vyasa's birth name is Krishna Dvaipayana, which may refer to his dark skin and birthplace, but he is better known as "Veda Vyasa" (Veda Vysa) because he divided the single, everlasting Veda into four independent books: Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda. The term "Vyasa" (Vysa) indicates "compiler" or "arranger" and also "separation" or "division." Other definitions include "split", "differentiate", and "describe." It is additionally a term bestowed upon "a holy sage or a pious educated man," in addition to "persons distinguished for their writings." Swami Vivekananda believes that Vyasa was a lineage of sages who were satisfied to simply develop ideas without claiming credit since they were free of desire for the consequences of their work, and hence assigned authorship to Vyasa.
