अनुवाद

Having expounded this great knowledge at length, the sage also set it forth in brief; for the learned in this world love to possess knowledge both in condensed and in expanded form. Some brahmins recite the Bharata beginning from the section on Manu, others from the ‘Astika,’ and still others from the tale of Uparichara; and all of them study it in the proper way.

भाष्य

Vyasa set forth the Mahabharata both at length and in brief, so that it would be accessible to people of differing capacities. In this we see the mercy of the Lord's incarnation: the truth is offered in a form every soul can receive. And the fact that different brahmins begin their reading at different points — with Manu, with the ‘Astika,’ with the tale of Uparichara — speaks to the inexhaustible richness of the work: from whichever side one enters, the one who studies it ‘in the proper way’ (samyak) is led along the same path, through dharma to devotion to the Lord. In just this way a spiritual teacher meets each person where they stand: the starting points differ, but the goal is one — Hari.
