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 Asramavasika Parva, the fifteenth,
in which Hastinapur is ruled by Pandavas with Dhritarashtra as
their head. It details the deaths of Dhritarashtra, Gandhari and
Kunti in a forest fire, Vidura preceding them and Sanjaya goes to
live in the higher Himalayas. 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.
