Authorship of the great Sanskrit language epic poem of India, the Mahābhārata, is attributed to the sage Kṛsṇa Dvaipāyana Vyāsa. This study focuses on the depiction of Vyāsa in the Mahābhārata, where he is an important character in the tale he is credited with composing. Other scholars have interpreted Vyāsa as an incarnation of Nārāyana Visṇu. This study, however, demonstrates that he is so depicted only very rarely in the epic, and that elsewhere the Mahābhārata portrays Vyāsa as corresponding meaningfully with Brahmā. Vyāsa is, in fact, the earthly counterpart to Brahmā in the Mahābhārata, as Kṛsṇa is of Visṇu, etc. The interpretation of Vyāsa is enriched by the different perspectives provided by other literature, including dramas, Jātaka tales, Arthasāstra, and Purāṇas.

The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Ramayana. Besides its epic narrative of the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kauravas and the Pandava princes, the Mahabharata contains much philosophical and devotional material, such as a discussion of the four "goals of life" or purusharthas. Among the principal works and stories that are a part of the Mahabharata are the Bhagavad Gita, the story of Damayanti, an abbreviated version of the Ramayana, and the Rishyasringa, often considered as works in their own right. The Mahabharata is the longest Sanskrit epic. Its longest version consists of over 100,000 shloka or over 200,000 individual verse lines (each shloka is a couplet), and long prose passages. About 1.8 million words in total, the Mahabharata is roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and Odyssey combined, or about four times the length of the Ramayana. The author is believed to be Vyasa, who is a central and revered figure in most Hindu traditions. He is also sometimes called Veda Vyasa (the one who classified the Vedas in to four parts) or Krishna Dvaipayana (referring to his complexion and birthplace). He is the author as well as a character in the Mahabharata and considered to be the scribe of both the Vedas, and the supplementary texts such as the Puranas. This edition contains the first of the Mahabharata books - Adi Parva.

"The Mahabharata Vana Parva, Part 1" is a portion of the Mahabharata, an ancient Indian epic written by the mythical sage and author Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa. This epic, one of the world's longest and revered works, is said to have been penned over several centuries through multiple authors, but Vyasa is usually seen as its compiler and narrator. The Vana Parva, or "Book of the Forest," constitutes a single of the Mahabharata's eighteen parvas (books). Part 1 of the Vana Parva mainly deals with the exile of the Pandavas, the main protagonists of the Mahabharata. The Pandavas are exiled to the wilderness for thirteen years after losing their kingdom in a dice game. During this time, the epic explains their trials, difficulties, and adventures. Part 1 contains multiple events, including the narrative of the sage Durvasa's visit to the Pandavas, the story of the Yaksha and Yudhishthira's response, and the description of Arjuna's mission to collect celestial weapons. These episodes are not only entertaining, but they additionally provide deep philosophical and moral lessons.
