1. That the Mahabharata per se is “inauspicious” is strictly speaking not true.
One of the greatest scholars of Mahabharata astronomy, my mentor late Dr Achar who read it daily, lived to a ripe old age and passed away in his sleep most peacefully that too in Covid19 times.

2. However, it is considered useful to recite Vishnu Sahasranaam prior to and after studying the Mahabharata in Sanskrit, especially when reading of the scenes of deceit and esp of war.
Why?
Ans: Because Shabda in Sanskrit has Rupa (form). Recited enough… Shabda BECOMES Rupa.

3. However if someone “dies and was translating the Mahabharata”, then I am afraid that I cannot take this as proof/ Pramana of the text’s supposed “inauspicious nature”. I know this “inauspicious nature” to be an untruth.

4. What is the Shastra Pramana for my words?
In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna says:
jatasya hi dhruvo mrtyur
dhruvam janma mrtasya ca
tasmad apariharye 'rthe
na tvam socitum arhasi
Thus it is a given that death and rebirth occur to every being.. why demean the Mahabharat?
