Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the sanctity and continuity of sacred knowledge: Vyāsa transmits both Vedic revelation and the Mahābhārata (as a dharma-bearing ‘fifth Veda’) through qualified disciples, showing that preserving and responsibly propagating tradition is itself a dharmic act.
Daśa reports how Vyāsa instructed multiple disciples—Sumantu, Jaimini, Paila, his son Śuka, and Vaiśampāyana—in the Vedas and the Mahābhārata, and how these disciples subsequently disseminated distinct versions/recensions of the Mahābhārata.
