                         The Conversation!                             

                   .              After inviting Lord Ganesha into the cave , Vedvyas says "लेखको भारतस्यास्य भव त्वं गणनायक।" "please be the writer of this great poem created by me! I will recite the poem as I have created it in my mind."  Ganesha replied " I'll only write it if you promise that my writing won't stop even for a single second, then I'll surely become your writer!".                                                    Vedvyas requested " without understanding don't even write a single letter!" To this Ganesha said "OM" and started writing....... Maharushi Vedvyas used to say such shloka (sutra) that it's meaning would be perceived different from superficial reading and something different if properly read with deeper understanding. In this context Maharushi Vedvyas says "In this poem out of all shlokas there are 8800 shlokas which are fully understood by me, shukdev and Sanjay. Also it is created with such complex Grammer that it's true meaning is difficult to understand and thus its application is confusing."so much that even all knowing Lord Ganesha used to take a moment to understand it but in that moment itself Vedvyas used to create thousand shlokas more!                                                                         To fully understand the purpose of life the four principles of Dharma (the eternal law of the cosmos, inherent in the very nature of things/truth), Artha (meaning, sense, goal, purpose or essence, or wealth/property) , Kama (desire, wish or longing) and Moksha (the transcendent state attained as a result of being released from the cycle of rebirth.) are described by Vedvyas in this epic poem.                                 Maharushi Vedvyas says" Bharata history's seed is its Sangraha Adhyay , It's roots are Paulom and Asthik Parva , Sambhava Parva is its trunk and branches are Sabha & Aranya Parva. Arani Parva joins everything and Viraat and Udyog Parva are contents inside the trees structure, Bhishma Parva is the biggest branch of all and Drona Parva are leaves of this great tree. Karna Parva are the white flowers and its sweet smell is Shalya Parva. Stree Parva and Aeshi Parva is the great shadow and Shanti  Parva is its Fruit! Ashvamegh Parva is the essence of this fruit and Ashramvasik Parva is the support for us to sit under this great tree. Mausal Parva is skin of this tree.                                           All great scholars thus consume this great tree of knowledge ,no poem is independent of this Mahakavya and as clouds bring life to barren lands so thus Mahabharata to living beings!
