Summary

This Parva has 153 shlokas and nine chapters. The meat of the Mahabharata doesn’t start in this Parva, since one is still on the snake sacrifice. Indeed, this Parva is mostly about the Bhargava lineage, descended from the great sage Bhrigu. Bhrigu’s son was the famous Shukra or Shukracharya and so was the sage Chyavana. Bhrigu married Puloma and anyone descended from Puloma is called Pouloma. That is how this Parva obtains its name. The chapters in this Parva take us down Bhrigu’s lineage, through Chyavana, Pramati, Ruru, and Shunaka.

The Mahabharata by Vyasa: the epic of ancient India condensed into English verse by Romesh C Dutt Loyal Books The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. Traditionally, the authorship of the Mahabharata is attributed to Vyasa. With more than 74,000 verses, Mahabharata is said to be the longest poem. Mahabharata tells the story of the epic Kurukshetra War and the fates of the cousin brothers Kauravas and the Pandavas. But more than that the Mahabharata contains much philosophical and devotional material, such as a discussion of the four "goals of life" or 'purusharthas'. The latter are enumerated as dharma (right action), artha (purpose), kama (pleasure), and moksha (liberation).
