Vyasa was born on an island in the Yamuna. And worked on the banks of the River Saraswathi. Look at the map to see how close they were to each other and also to IndraPrastha.
“The Saraswati waterfall lies at 10,000 ft. above sea level, about four km from the holy shrine of Badrinath. It is very close to the Indo-Tibetan border.Vyas Muni’s hallowed cave was barely 100 sq. ft. in area. At one end was a rounded stone with faint markings, described as “3,000 year old inscriptions” by the local guide.But Vyasji had a problem. He could not concentrate – with a frothing, foaming, furiously gushing river within hearing range. So, he prayed fervently to Mother Saraswati, begging her to calm down and assist him in his creative persuits. Lo! The river Saraswati changed her course and were underground, only to emerge hundreds of miles away at the Sangam (confluence) at Allahabad, as goes the legend.
