উৎপত্তি ও কাহিনি

Mahabharata (mangalacharana / invocatory verse); also used in the Puranas · Sage Veda Vyasa (traditional attribution) · Itihasa-Purana period

This benedictory verse stands at the threshold of the Mahabharata, the great epic compiled by Sage Veda Vyasa. Before narrating the vast 'Jaya,' the reciter salutes Narayana and His eternal companion Nara, the goddess of learning Saraswati, and Vyasa himself. By long tradition the same verse is used to open the recitation of Puranas and sacred stories, so that every holy narration begins with remembrance of the divine.

শাস্ত্রে যেমন বলা হয়েছে

It is held that any scripture or sacred story begun with this invocation proceeds without obstacle and bears full fruit, for the reciter has first surrendered the work to Narayana, sought the speech of Saraswati, and bowed to Vyasa, the source of all the Puranas.

হ্যাঁ — শুধু লিপি বদলায়; শব্দ ও তার অর্থ মূলই থাকে। এই পাতার শ্লোকে-শ্লোকে অর্থ, উপকারিতা ও পাঠের নিয়ম একইভাবে প্রযোজ্য।
It is the famous mangalacharana (auspicious invocatory verse) recited at the beginning of the Mahabharata and many Puranas. It salutes Narayana, the sage Nara, Goddess Saraswati and Sage Vyasa before starting the sacred narration called 'Jaya.'
Nara and Narayana are the twin eternal sages, considered partial incarnations of Vishnu, who perform austerities for the welfare of the world. Arjuna and Krishna are regarded as Nara and Narayana in the Mahabharata, which is why both are invoked at its outset.
'Jaya' (meaning 'Victory') is the original name of the Mahabharata. 'Jayam udirayet' means 'one should then recite the Jaya' — that is, begin the sacred narration after offering these salutations.
It is chanted at the very beginning of any scriptural reading, recitation, study or katha — especially of the Mahabharata, Bhagavata and Puranas — to invoke divine grace and an auspicious start.
