The section Amshavatara Parva (1.7.a) of the Adi Parva in the Mahabharata (Critical Edition). provides a detailed account of the incarnations of Danavas, Asuras, gods, and other celestial beings into human forms, as narrated by Vaisampayana to Janamejaya, revealing the divine origins of prominent figures in the epic.[1][2]

Notes

  1. The Northern Recension (NR) also includes Vidura as an incarnation of Dharma in the list.
  2. The Northern Recension (NR), however, assigns Shri to Rukmini and reinterprets Draupadi as Shachi, likely due to her marriage to Arjuna. Scholars view this shift (Adi Parva, Section LXVII, NR) as a later interpolation, rejecting Shri's association with Rukmini in the Critical Edition of the Mahabharata.[3][2]
