This is the sixth of the 100 Upa Parvas (Sections), situated in Adi Parva, the first of the 18 Maha Parvas (Books) of the original Mahabharata
composed in Sanskrit by Vyasa. This Upa Parva mainly describes the divine secret of Mahabharata - the battle staged by the Gods and anti-Gods on earth. The anti-Gods take birth on earth as powerful kings to destroy Dharma and thus to weaken the Gods. The Gods and their allies take birth on earth to defeat the designs of the anti-Gods and to lighten the burden on earth. Lord Narayana takes birth as Krishna.
This Section also describes the stories of Vasu Uparichara, the story of Satyavati and birth of Vyasa.
The Upa Parva has a total of 257 Shlokas organized in 5 Chapters. Click to See...
