Division of the Veda
into four portions, by a Vyasa, in every Dwapara age. List of the twenty-eight
Vyasas of the present Manwantara. Meaning of the word Brahma.
MAITREYA.--I have
learnt from you, in due order, how this world is Vishnu; how it is in Vishnu;
how it is from Vishnu: nothing further is to be known: but I should desire to
hear how the Vedas were divided, in different ages, by that great being, in the
form of Veda-vyasa? who were the Vyasas of their respective eras? and what were
the branches into which the Vedas were distributed?
PARAS'ARA.--The
branches of the great tree of the Vedas are so numerous, Maitreya, that it is
impossible to describe them at length. I will give you a summary account of
them.
In every Dwapara (or
third) age, Vishnu, in the person of Vyasa, in order to promote the good of
mankind, divides the Veda, which is properly but one, into many portions:
observing the limited perseverance, energy, and application of mortals, he
makes the Veda fourfold, to adapt it to their capacities; and the bodily form
which he assumes, in order to affect that classification, is known by the name
of Veda-vyasa. Of the different Vyasas in the present Manwantara, and the
branches which they have taught, you shall have an account.
Twenty-eight times
have the Vedas been arranged by the great Rishis in the Vaivaswata Manwantara
in the Dwapara age, and consequently eight and twenty Vyasas have passed away;
by whom, in their respective periods, the Veda has been divided into four. In the
first Dwapara age the distribution was made by Swayambhu (Brahma) himself; in
the second, the arranger of the Veda (Veda-vyasa) was Prajapati (or Manu); in
the third, Us'anas; in the fourth, Vrihaspati; in the fifth, Savitri; in the
sixth, Mrityu (Death, or Yama); in the seventh, Indra; in the eighth,
Vas'ishtha; in the ninth, Saraswata; in the tenth, Tridhaman; in the eleventh,
Trivrishan; in the twelfth, Bharadwaja; in the thirteenth, Antariksha; in the
fourteenth, Vapra; in the fifteenth, Trayyaruna; in the sixteenth, Dhananjaya;
in the , Kritanjaya; in the eighteenth, Rina; in the nineteenth, Bharadwaja; in
the twentieth, Gotama; in the twenty-first, Uttama, also called Haryatma; in
the twenty-second, Vena, who is likewise named Rajas'ravas; in the
twenty-third, Somas'ushmapana, also Trinavindu; in the twenty-fourth, Riksha,
the descendant of Bhrigu, who is known also by the name Valmiki; in the
twenty-fifth, my father S'akti was the Vyasa; I was the Vyasa of the
twenty-sixth Dwapara, and was succeeded by Jaratkaru; the Vyasa of the
twenty-eighth, who followed him, was Krishna Dwaipayana. These are the
twenty-eight elder Vyasas, by whom, in the preceding Dwapara ages, the Veda has
been divided into four. In the next Dwapara, Drauni (the son of Drona) will be
the Vyasa, when my son, the Muni Krishna Dwaipayana, who is the actual Vyasa,
shall cease to be (in that character).
The syllable Om is
defined to be the eternal monosyllabic Brahma. The word Brahma is derived from
the root Vriha (to increase), because it is infinite (spirit), and because it
is the cause by which the Vedas (and all things) are developed. Glory to
Brahma, who is addressed by that mystic word, associated eternally with the
triple universe, and who is one with the four Vedas. Glory to Brahma, who,
alike in the destruction and renovation of the world, is called the great and
mysterious cause of the intellectual principle (Mahat); who is without limit in
time or space, and exempt from diminution or decay; in whom (as connected with
the property of darkness) originates worldly illusion; and in whom resides the
end of soul (fruition or liberation), through the properties of light and of
activity (or goodness and foulness). He is the refuge of those who are versed
in the Sankhya philosophy; of those who have acquired control over their
thoughts and passions. He is the invisible, imperishable Brahma; varying in
form, invariable in substance; the chief principle, self-engendered; who is
said to illuminate the caverns of the heart; who is indivisible, radiant,
undecaying, multiform. To that supreme Brahma be for ever adoration.
That form of Vasudeva,
who is the same with supreme spirit, which is Brahma, and which, although
diversified as threefold, is identical, is the lord, who is conceived by those
that contemplate variety in creation to be distinct in all creatures. He,
composed of the Rik, Sauna, and Yajur-Vedas, is at the same time their essence,
as he is the soul of all embodied spirits. He, distinguished as consisting of
the Vedas, creates the Vedas, and divides them by many subdivisions into
branches: he is the author of those branches: he is those aggregated branches;
for he, the eternal lord, is the essence of true knowledge.
