He was the son of the sage Parasara and Matsyodari (called Machhodari). His mother was born of a fish, who had swallowed the semen of some sage. Parasara after his sexual contact with Machhodari named her as Yojana Gandhari (one whose body-fragrance spreads up to one Yojana i.e. about four miles). Yojana Gandhari was later on married to king Shantanu, the father of Bhishma Pitamaha and was named Satyavati. As mistress of Parasara, Yojana Ghandhari gave birth to Vyasa and as queen Satyavati she gave birth to two sons (both of them died young and childless). Their widows namely Ambika and Ambalika through niyoga with Vyasa gave birth to the blind Dhritarashtra and Pandu. (See the entries Gangeva Pitama and Vidur). Page, 42 Vyasa performed great austerities in a forest and was also the father of the great sage Suka. He was a great author and compiler and is known as Veda Vyasa. He is said to be the compiler of Mahabharata, the founder of Vedanta philosophy and the editor of the Puraanas. In his works, he talks about the dynasties of the ancient kings and has recorded the sayings of many famous sages including Narada. His other name is Krishna Dwaipayana. Page, 43 Cordially, Virinder PS, Please read all my postings in context as to my writings. Some get disappeared and others have no response. It is requested that please ask a question one at a time. The whole confusion is that all Hindu Mythology is a metaphor in AGGS IMHO. All names are given to the only One Akal Purkh. IMHO there has been on Brahma, Vishnu or Shiva. These are the attributes of the same God.</blockquote>
