قال فايشَمبايانا: «إنّ المبارك كريشنا دْفايبايانا (فياسا)، الذي طبيعته موكشا مكتملة على الدوام، قد ألّف هذا النسق من المهابهارتا ابتغاءَ الدَّرما. فقد صنع أولًا سَمهيتا تضم ستة ملايين شلوكا؛ ومن بينها استقرّ ثلاثة ملايين شلوكا وانتشرت في عالم الآلهة. (وكانت مراجعات أخرى متداولة في عالم الأسلاف “بيتْرِ” وعالم الياكشا، أمّا نسخة المئة ألف بيت فقد ذاعت بين البشر.)»
