It is said that Bhagavan Vishnu incarnated as Maharshi Veda [[Vyasa]] in Dvapara yuga and organized the Vedas in their present form. Maharshi Vyasa's efforts brought about uniformity in the religious observances thereby performance of rites and rituals, religious ceremonies, sacrifices and vratas (vows) continued without any flaw.

Maharshi [[Yaska]], who gave Nirukta to the world, also expounded vedic terminology on the basis of legends and ancient lore.
