The ending of the section "Kuru vansham" contains the following text, which is redundant because "Chitrangada" and "Vidura" have been added to the Kuru family tree: Some siblings of the characters shown here have been left out for clarity; these include Chitrāngada, the eldest brother of Vichitravirya. Vidura, half-brother to Dhritarashtra and Pandu. ^[1] AdishWarJain (talk) 20:58, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Historicity

I think it is time to create an entirely new page dedicated to the Historicity of the Mahabharata. We have Historicity of the Homeric epics. Why not such a page for something 8x larger? ChandlerMinh (talk) 15:57, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ChandlerMinh, its required, but you can create that yourself. Why ask someone else. I wonder why no one has created it till now.--2409:4073:30A:9DC6:4C47:FBB9:8A80:E55F (talk) 12:07, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

According to Hindu mythology Mahabharat was composed by rishi ved vyas and written by Shri Ganesha

According to Hindu mythology Mahabharat was composed by rishi ved vyas and written by Shri Ganesha Source: Mahabharat epic — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4055:312:2609:0:0:F61:C0A4 (talk) 03:44, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From this very article: The first section of the Mahābhārata states that it was Ganesha who wrote down the text to Vyasa's dictation, but this is regarded by scholars as a later interpolation to the epic and the "Critical Edition" doesn't include Ganesha at all. —CM
