[Advaita-l] Veda Vyasa, the symbol of Trimurti Abheda

[V Subrahmanian]

In the Bharata Savitri, an appendix to the Harivamsha, there is this verse
about Badarayana:

अचतुर्वदनो ब्रह्मा द्विबाहुरपरो हरिः |
अफाललोचनः शंभुर्भगवान् बादरायणः || ३ ||

He is Brahmaa sans the four faces, Hari with two hands and Shambhu sans the
third eye.
We are reminded of the famous verse on Guru:

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः।
गुरुस्साक्षात्परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः ॥ of the Guru gita.

The Ashtottara 100 names of Veda Vyasa has the name 'Badarayana' at the end.
