About
Veda Vyasa is the sage traditionally named as the author of the Mahabharata, the vast Sanskrit epic of ancient India. His name is really a title. In Sanskrit, Vyasa means "the compiler" or "the arranger," and he is also credited with sorting the sacred hymns of the Vedas into their four collections. That is how he earned the name Veda Vyasa, the one who arranged the Vedas.
