Vyasa: It made even Dharmaputra tell lies!īrahma: Did Karna not fight to keep up the promise to his mother even at the cost of his own life in this war? Did he not stop from aiming the deadly Astra the second time and spared Arjuna's life, losing his own life instead in this Kurukshetra war?
Is it not befitting that a great grand father writes about them?īrahma: But that is where Bhagavata Gita originated! Pandavas and Kauravas are your progenies. You have to tell the world how the adharma-filled Kali Yuga began. Won't I have to write about these issues too?īrahma: Yes, you have to write about them as well! When you are writing about Dharma, you have to write about Adharma too. Big people made big mistakes in this war. People who swore by truth told lies in this war. Vyasa: All rules of Dharma were flouted in this war. I know Bhishma, acharya Drona, Karna, Duryodhana, Arjuana and Lord Krishna quite intimately. Who else is better suited for writing about Pandavas and Kauravas than you? A poet has to expel the words that arise spontaneously in his mind. Why don't you write hymns that describe the incidents connected with the war, the history of the people and their reasons for the war, and the consequences, all for the welfare of the world? When the lake becomes fulleth, it has to overflow. At the same time, you are a great poet too! You have composed several amazing poems in the past. What should I do do to get over this? How do I make my mind a blank slate? You should bless me.īrahma: Vyasa!, You are a great sage. The mutilated horses and elephants torture me in my sleep. The gory sight of lakhs of bodies bathing in the blood torment me. Yet the human blood spilled in the war hasn't yet become frozen in my mind and it remains fresh.
Four generations have passed after the Kurukshetra war between the Pandavas and Kauravas. Vyasa: My mind has become mired in the puddle of blood. You were happy with me and called me Vyasa. Swami, I was merely a student of the Vedas, and you ordered me to compile and classify them. You have accepted my invitation and have appeared before me. Vyasa: My prostrations to you, revered one.
