After further research, I am also incorporating insights from Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya, a work by Madhvacharya initially written in Kannada. Currently, I am taking notes from its English translation.

Madhvacharya believed to be a son of Vayudev—just like Hanuman and Bhima—was a profound scholar who wrote Bhashyas (commentaries) on the Puranas. He even claimed to have met Vyasa before composing this work. His interpretation fills crucial gaps left by sources like the BORI Critical Edition, KMG, and other Puranic texts.

For instance, most versions of the Mahabharata do not mention Vidura's wife's name. Previously, we relied on online sources, but Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya identified her as Aruni, so I have updated her name accordingly. Additionally, the book provides deeper insights into Bhima's struggles, which I am incorporating to strengthen the narrative.

The book sheds light on the birth of various Devatas and Asuras, detailing who was born as whom and the events surrounding them. It also reveals lesser-known incidents, such as Nakula demanding taxes from Balarama despite Krishna being a close family friend because they were under Indraprastha's rule. Such insights add depth to the narrative and bring out nuances often overlooked.

Madhvacharya is a revered figure who is followed and deeply respected by many. His work clarifies several aspects of the Mahabharata, offering perspectives that strengthen the story's foundation. Madhvacharya is also recognized for his contributions to the philosophy of yoga and the development of bhakti-yoga.
