All that is well and good, but in the process, some started abusing the bhAgavataM itself as a "Saiva dveSha" book because it declares Shiva's body as panchabhUta-maya and his attainment as within the material world+
This led to some quoting sections of the anushAsana parva of mbh (upamanyu upAkhyAna) which has been clearly acknowledged to be interpolated and not in original palm leaves by the likes of Arjuna Misra+
