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 Parampar
of which Adi Shankara is the chief proponent.
