I shall, however, answer you by reciting to you what my preceptor the Island-born Krishna, otherwise called Vyasa, the great Rishi who has divided the Vedas, had said to us on a former occasion when questioned by us.
हन्त ते कथयिष्यामि यन्मे पृष्टः पुरा गुरुः॥ कृष्णद्वैपायनो व्यासो वेदव्यासो महानृषिः।
