tadananh‍tar varadan pakar prasann huee sath‍yavati naripan ke samagamochit gun (sady: rritush‍nan adi) se vibhooshit ho gayi aur usane adbhutakarma maharshi parashar ke sath samagam kiya. usake sharir se uttam ganh‍dh phailane ke karan prithh‍vi par usaka gandhavati nam vikhh‍yat ho gaya. is prithh‍vi par ek yojan door ke manushy bhi usi divy sugandh ka anubhav karate the is karan usaka doosara nam yojanagandha ho gaya. is prakar param uttam var pakar harshollas ke bhari huee satyavati ne maharshi parashar ka sanyog prapt kiya aur tatkal hi ek shishu ko janm diya. yamuna ke dvip (yamuna dvip) mean atyant shaktishali parasharanandan vyas prakat hue. unhoanne mata se yah kaha- ‘avashh‍yakata p dane par tum mera smaran karana. maian avashh‍y darshan dooanga.’ itana kahakar mata ki ajna le vyas ji ne tapasya mean hi man lagaya. is prakar maharshi parashar dvara satyavati ke garbh se dvaipayan vyasaji ka janm hua. ve balyavastha mean hi yamuna ke dvip mean chho d diye gaye, isaliye ‘dvaipayan’ nam se prasiddh hue. tadanantar satyavati prasanna poorvak apane ghar par gayi. us din se bhoomandal ke manushy ek yojan door se hi usaki divy gandh ka anubhav karane lage. usaka pita dasharaj bhi usaki gandh sooanghakar bahut prasann hua.

dasharaj ne poochha - beti! tere sharir se machhali ki-si durgandh ane ke karan log tujhe ‘matsyagandha’ kaha karate the, phir tujhamean yah sugandh kahaan se a gayi? kisane yah machhali ki durgandh door kar tere sharir ko sugandh pradan ki hai?

satyavati boli - pitaji! maharshi shakti ke putr mahajnani parashar haian, (ve yamunaji ke tat par aye the; us samay) maian nav khe rahi thi. unhoanne meri durgandhata ki or lakshy karake mujh par kripa ki aur mere sharir se machhali ki ganh‍dh door karake aisi sugandh de di, jo ek yojan door tak apana prabhav rakhati hai. maharshi ka yah kripa prasad dekhakar sab lok b de prasann hue. vidvan dvaipayanaji ne dekha ki pratyek yug mean dharm ka ek-ek pad lupt hota ja raha haian. manushyoan ki ayu aur shakti kshin ho chali hai aur yug ki aisi duravastha ho gayi hai. yah sab sunakar unhoanne ved aur brahmanoan par anugrah karane ki ichchha se vedoan ka vyas (vistar) kiya. isaliye ve vyas nam se vikhyat hue. sarvashreshth varadayak bhagavan vyas ne charoan vedoan tatha paanchave ved mahabharat ka adhyayan sumantu, jaimini, pail, apane putr shukadev tatha mujh vaishampayan ko karaya. phir un sabane prithak-prithak mahabharat ki sanhitaaian prakashit ki. amit tejasvi shantanunandan bhishm athavean vasu ke aansh se ganga ji ke garbh se utpann hue. ve mahan parakrami aur yashasvi the. poorv kal ki bat hai vedarthoan ke jnata, mahan yashasvi, puratan muni, brahmarshi bhagavan animandavy chor n hote hue bhi chor ke sandeh se shooli par chadha diye gaye. paralok mean jane par un mahayashasvi maharshi ne pahale dharm ko bulakar is prakar kaha-.
