(Vishnu's) occupation.

In another passage of the same book we read:
" Vishnu, i.e. another name for Narayana, comes at the
end of each dvdparct to divide the Veda into four parts,
because men are feeble and unable to observe the whole
of it.    In his face he resembles Vyasa."

We exhibit his names in the following table, though
they vary in different sources, enumerating the Vyasas
who have appeared in the caturyugas of the present or
seventh manvantara which have elapsed :—

Krishna Dvaipayana is Vyasa the son of Parasara.
The twenty-ninth Vyasa has not yet come, but will

The book Vishnu-Dharma says: " The names of
