Educational Q&A
Spiritual authority and lasting renown arise from tapas directed toward the preservation and clear transmission of sacred knowledge; names and titles in the epic often reflect a person’s function (Vyāsa as ‘arranger/expander’) and visible traits (Kṛṣṇa as ‘dark-complexioned’).
The narrator identifies the great sage Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana and explains why he is known by two famous names: he is called Vyāsa because he organized/expanded the four Vedas, and he is also called Kṛṣṇa because of his dark complexion.
