Veda Vyasa wrote Shrimad Bhagavata after he had finished composing the Mahabharata. It is in the ninth Canto(Navama Skandha) of Bhagavata that some of the interesting anecdotes are included. These anecdotes retold here bring to light a complex web of human characters, their situations and emotions. The subtle development of the human element makes these characters, their motivation and circumstances, relevant to all times. The attempt here, the translator says is to give the characters and situations in these tales a habitation and a name so that they get a recognisable validity in to-day's world.
