Puranic Encyclopaedia  | English  English
AŚMOPĀKHYĀNAM   This is called Aśmagītā also. After the great Kurukṣetra battle Vyāsa spoke to Dharmaputra to console him and the philosophy he then expounded is called Aśmopākhyānam. Once King Janaka asked the great scholar Aśman on the changes that occur in Man as wealth comes and goes. Aśman then gave the King the same philosophy which Vyāsa gave to Dharmaputra and Aśman's oration to King Janaka came to be known as Aśmagītā. [Chapter 28, Śānti Parva, M.B.] .
