Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
FAQs
This verse teaches that Vedic preservation is cyclical: in each Dvāpara Yuga a ‘Vyāsa’ reorganizes the one Veda into four, ensuring dharma and sacred knowledge remain accessible as ages change.
Parāśara presents it as a recurring Dvāpara function performed by successive Vyāsas—an adaptive ordering of revelation (śruti) to suit the needs and capacities of people in later yugas.
Even when not named directly, the Vishnu Purana frames cosmic order—time cycles, dharma, and the safeguarding of the Veda—as ultimately upheld by the Supreme Lord, with Vyāsa’s work functioning within that divine sovereignty.
