By that time, the old palaces had been fully renovated. The Suta Puranikas had gone to Naimisharanya. They had propagated the Mahabharata history later sitting in Naimisharanya.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How did the Mahabharata story end?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The Suta Puranikas at Naimisharya had also conducted the Satra to propagate the same story later, after returning from Takshashila. Several Rishis had attended the same assembly. The Mahabharata story ends there but it starts again as retelling to their juniors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was in Naimisharanya that all the Puranas were retold. Bhagavata Purana was retold as the last remainder part of Mahabharata history. The life story of Krishna was the main content of Bhagavata Purana. Due to rulings of several genealogies in India, the same had been edited to please the rulers more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the predominant era of the Jain kings, the Purana got the name Harivamsha Purana. Later Buddhist, Islamic and Christian rulers also influenced the literature. Thus, Bhavishya Purana resulted as the hundredth upa parva. Both Harivamsha Purana and Bhavishya Purana were told in the end as appendices (Khila).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why was Naimisharnya selected as the venue for reciting the histories to Shaunaka and other Rishi people by Ugrashrava Rishi?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Naimisharanya was the venue selected by Shree Rama for conducting his Ashvamedha yaga in Treta yuga. Then, the hermit of Valmiki and the venue of that yaga were within walking distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kusha and Lava, reciting Ramayana, attended Ramashvamedha daily under the instructions of Valmiki. It was in Sitapur District. Considering all the holy aspects, Ugrashrava Rishi had selected the same place near Gomati River banks for reciting histories to Shaunaka and other Rishi people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For how many years did Duryodhana and Yudhishtira rule India?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Duryodhana had ruled for twenty five years and Yudhishtira had ruled for thirty five years. The story part of Mahabharata continued with two annexures. These two books were Harivamshapurana and Bhavishyapurana.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What were the differences in the ruling of Duryodhana and Yudhishtira?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
During the period of ruling of Duryodhana, Karna was really executing the administrative works. Dritarashtra was his father but not honored suitably. Bhishma was monitoring the general public, confirming the satisfaction but was struggling to keep peace under Dritarashtra\u2019s Empire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the period of ruling of Yudhishtira, Dritarashtra was honored suitably, really executing the administrative works for the initial fifteen years. Yudhishtira allowed him to go on with his desires to make him happy to the maximum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the last twenty years, Yudhishtira was ruling with the help of Bhima and following the Viduraniti code for penal purpose. He had ruled his empire assuring freedom and happiness of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahabharat: Khila Bhavishya Purana would be presented separately in another article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
