Explanation

Mahabharata was originally called 'Jaya' (Victory) - the name of the first version of 8,800 verses that Vyasa recited to Ganesha. It was later expanded to 'Bharata' (24,000 verses) and finally to 'Mahabharata' (100,000 verses). Jaya symbolizes the ultimate victory of dharma over adharma.
