Vyasa said with misty eyes, ‘Me? I shall embark on an extremely ambitious project now. I shall author a chronicle of the troubled history of this Kuru family. I shall write about how the men and women of our time lived, loved, thought, felt and fought. I shall write how blissfully we found our gods, how miserably we lost them. I shall leave records of everything. And if I can by any chance get Lord Ganesha to scribe my story, I swear I shall make all of you immortal. All of you shall live long beyond your deaths. It will be my tribute to the great Kuru family.’
