After the end of Sarpa Yagam Janamejaya was participating in a discussion where there were great poets, sages and wise men. Vyasa was seated on a chair which was decorated with precious gems. his disciples were seated around him and Janamejaya treated them with utmost respect offering them food and by cleaning their feet with water. He bowed to Vyasa and said " I have been wanting to ask this question for a long time, it was you and Bhishma pithamaha( grand father) who had divided the kingdom to our grand fathers right? They should have enjoyed their part, but instead they fought and killed each other and caused a lot of casualties. I am not able to understand the inner meaning of why all this had to happen." "Why did you let this happen? You could have stopped it from happening." questioned Janamejaya.
Vyasa looked at his disciple Vaisampayana and said " Narrate Mahabharata to our King". Vaisampayana bowed to his teacher and the rest of the wise people in the room and took their permission to proceed. Mahabharata is the history of the Indian race. VishnuKalpa and Vyasa have worked extremely hard on the great mount Himalayas to write down this great epic which is filled with stories of bravery of our great Kings and is considered as the Fifth Veda. Vaisampayana then started narrating the great epic. " Mahabharata consists of one hundred thousand slokas as written by my great teachers whose knowledge is like an ocean. Mahabharata is like an image of the moon in the great ocean of wisdom, the praises of Lord Krishna and Arjuna are like the glow of the moon, the emotions in the epic are like rays of the moon. Someone who listens to this will come out of the ignorance which is darkness" said Vaisampayana. Before he started the narration of the epic he began with the stories of Vyasa.
