When the house of Kuru faced extinction, Vyasa, at the bidding of his mother Satyavati and with the assent of the wise Bhishma, continued the dynasty by begetting Dhritarashtra, Pandu, and Vidura — ‘like three sacred fires,’ that is, filled with the power of dharma. Having fulfilled this duty, he returned at once to his austerities. Here is an image of selfless action (nishkama-karma): the sage brings kings into the world yet desires neither throne nor inheritance for himself, and departs at once for his hermitage. In this way the lineage is preserved in which, in time, the deeds of Lord Krishna and His devotees the Pandavas will unfold. Vyasa's detachment is an example of how a devotee acts for a higher purpose, without attachment to the fruits.
