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.
