ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ
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.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
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.
