Sūta said:: Vyāsas arc those who compose scriptural texts. They are remembered as Vedavyāsas. Since, although they are born later (i.e. younger in age), they are superior to the earlier ones in their intellect; since they are richly endowed with prosperity, they are, therefore, remembered as Ṛṣis (sages).
