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 Shalya Parva, the ninth, and the
last part of the battle with Shalya as commander. It also tells of
the pilgrimage of Balarama to the fords of the river Saraswati and
the mace fight between Bhima and Duryodhana which ends the war.
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.
