At this point in the narrative, Suta stopped. Shaunaka, one of Naimisha’s most prominent sages said:
“You have just told us the story that refers to the sacrifice of the snakes wanted by Janamejaya and the reason that had pushed him to such a bloody revenge. A little while ago you also told us that on that occasion you listened to the chronicle of the deeds of the famous sons of Pandu. We know that at some point in their existence they collided with their cousins, the sons of Dhritarastra, on a battlefield, and that the result was devastating. Why did all this happen? What drove them, being so virtuous and detached from material possessions to fight against their own relatives and friends? Tell us the sacred story called Maha-bharata without omitting any details.”
Then, Suta agreed to tell them the circumstances in which he found himself listening to the narrative.
This is a section of the book “Maha-Bharata As It Is vol. 1 of 2”.
