Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Does anybody know the reason why the number of verses stated in the

Mahabharata, Bhisma-parva 43.4 (directly following the Gita):

 

- 620 verses spoken by Lord Krsna,

- 57 spoken by Arjuna,

- 67 spoken by Sanjaya and

- 1 by Dhrtarastra

 

adds up to 745 verses in total, whereas the verified number of verses in the

Bhagavad-gita is exactly 700?

 

Does anybody have an explanation for the difference?

 

Begging to remain

 

your servant,

Madana-mohana das
