The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa Book 7 Drona Parva by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa

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 fourteenth, also known as the Book of the Horse Sacrifice consists of the narration about the royal ceremony of the Ashvamedha conducted by Yudhisthir. Yudhisthir was filled with joy when he heard from Arjuna about his great deeds upon his return to Kingdom of Hastinapur after his world conquest. All the defeated kings and those who accepted the sovereignty of Yudhisthir over their kingdom presented themselves in the Horse Sacrifice in Hastinapur. 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 Paramparā of which Adi Shankara is the chief proponent.

Vyasa is the fabled author of the Mahabharata, Vedas, and Puranas, which are among Hinduism's most important literature. Due to his dark color and birthplace, he is also known as Veda Vyāsa or Krishna Dvaipāyana. Guru Purnima is a celebration devoted to him. It is also known as Vyasa Purnima, the day on which Vyasa is said to have been born and when he split the Vedas.[1][2] Vyasa is one of the seven Chiranjivis (long-lived, or immortals) who, according to Hindu belief, are still alive. Vyasa comes in the Mahabharata for the first time as the Mahabharata's compiler and a major figure.

It is stated that he was the extension of the Deity Vishnu, who came in the Dwaparayuga to write down all of the Vedic knowledge that had previously been passed down orally. He was the son of Satyavati, the adopted daughter of the fisherman Dusharaj and Parashara, the wandering philosopher who is credited with writing the first Purana, Vishnu Purana. Vyasa was born on an island in the river Yamuna.[4] Owing to his dark complexion, Vyasa was also given the name Krishna, as well as the name Dwaipayana, which means island-born.] Vyasa was born on an island in the Yamuna at Kalpi, according to the Vishnu Purana. Vyasa was the Sage Apantaratamas in a previous incarnation, according to tradition, who was born when Lord Vishnu spoke the phrase Bhu.

He was a Lord Vishnu follower. He had been familiar with the Vedas, the Dharmashastras, and the Upanishads from birth. He was reborn as Vyasa at Vishnu's request. Vyasa was the grandson of Sage Vashistha and the son of Sage Parashara.

Parashara had committed a terrible penance to Lord Shiva prior to Vyasa's birth. Parashara's son will be a Brahmarshi comparable to Vashistha and famous for his wisdom, thanks to Shiva's blessing. With Satyavati, Parashara had Vyasa. Vyasa was conceived and born to her right away.

Vyasa grew up and left, promising his mother that he would return when she was in need. Vyasa is thought to have resided on the banks of the Ganga in modern-day Uttarakhand, where he received his wisdom from the four Kumaras, Narada, and Lord Brahma himself. The sage Vashishta, as well as the Pandavas, the Mahabharata's five brothers, had their ritual house at this location.
