In the end of the Bhagavad Gita it is said so it is said by the mercy of Vyasa I have heard what Sanjay is saying now Vyasadeva is himself the author of the Bhagavad Gita so then why is he glorifying himself when he is saying that by Vyasa’s mercy Sanjay heard it the answer Vyasadeva is not the author in the literal sense of the word author because it is not that he spun the whole thing out of his imagination or created it by his intelligence it is either a fiction or non-fiction book which the author has written but it is a historical narrative which he has put in written form so in that sense Vyasadeva is simply giving a report of what happened and he doesn’t edit the report because he has to be faithful to describe what has happened over there so there he is describing now before the Mahabharata war begins at death in Vyasadeva who is in one sense like the father of Dhritarashtra Pandu and others he comes there and he asks Dhritarashtra whether he wants ice to see the battle, he says no Dhritarashtra has a foreboding that my sons will die so he says I don’t want ice so then he says I will give the ice to Sanjay so that Sanjay can see and then Sanjay although he is in the chamber with Dhritarashtra which is far away from Kurukshetra which is in Hastinapur still he is able to see because of the mystical vision given by Vyasadeva and therefore after the whole Bhagavad Gita is spoken and Arjuna has been determined to fight when Sanjay is contemplating with gratitude and how he was able to hear this message only because of the mercy of Vyasadeva so naturally he expresses gratitude so in the narrative of events as it happened Sanjay expresses his gratitude and whatever has happened Vyasadeva reports that so this is Vyasadeva has his role to play and because he has his role to play he plays that role so wherever he is being glorified he just reports that because that is how things happen the same Vyasadeva also reports in the Bhagavatam in the 4th, 5th, 6th chapter how he was dissatisfied and how Narada Muni actually chastised him also so actually if you look at it Jugupsatam is abominable so Mahanati Krama what you have done is a great transgression Narada Muni is telling Vyasadeva and Vyasadeva faithfully recorded that normally if we are writing a book and somebody has chastised us we would want to edit that but Vyasadeva doesn’t edit that why? because he is basically reproducing historical events in a written form as they happen so if there is his glorification he repeats that if there is his criticism he also repeats that so naturally because Vyasadeva is not a literal author but is more like a more like a reporter who is noting down historical events in written form that’s why this verse is there in the context it is not self-glorification
