The Mahābhārata is originally named "Jaya" by Vyāsa. The number indicated by the kaṭapayādi sūtra is "one hundred thousand" (or 100,000).

To expand on this, the Mahābhārata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient Indian literature and is attributed to the sage Vyāsa. Its original title, "Jaya," translates to "victory." The kaṭapayādi sūtra is a mnemonic device used in ancient Indian scholarship, particularly in the context of Sanskrit, to convert syllables into numerical values. In this context, the epic is said to be a vast narrative that encompasses various teachings, philosophies, and ideas about dharma (duty/righteousness) and has a total of 100,000 verses, emphasizing its extensive nature and depth of content.
