folklore
frankly i cannot even say or add to what shankaracharya had written. it is final and unmodifiable.
i have heard stories about impossibility to modify geeta as written by veda vyasa. mahabharata was composed by many ever since for public and always. story is the same theme. geeta is commented upon but cannot be modified. even those who cannot read they must hear it as it is the content till it is digested and assimilated. that may take life time. but if one is sincere one cannot die before geeta is assimilated.
folklore is when shankara was recovering mahabharata as written by vyasa along with brahmasutra on upanishads and gita he was visited by vyasa himself. vyasa is immortal. shankara humbly asked vyasa opinion and got the PERMISSION. Certificate of approval.
I have vainly tried to improve upon Shankaracharya's for decades and I could not replace even word and making it different. it is so cut and dried without any masala!
the same thing is upanishads. they are impossible to improve upon. must you read it yourself or hear it from some who does not add any masala of his own giving it any current or modern flavor.
onething conveyed to me from assimilation mahabharata gita upanishads and vivekachudamani that it is impossible to make modification to my world unless modification to be done as intended.
all is me
i must be absent i must be silent
i realize but choice is not mine
i cannot assume i have no mind of my own
can a puppet ever do or be wrong?can i ever be or do wrong? even when there is none or nothing besides me? How?
shankara needed no certificate from vyasa!
i had a friend his name was k l vyas. he was about two years junior and very contented person. many night when he was in baroda we spent together till late night. he also joined org about two years later around 1976. he lft org and went back to hyderabad around 1977. together we made one trip to aurangabad ellora and ajanta during diwali of 1976. i also made another trip with him in 1978 to simla. he had another story to tell about vyasa. i did not know. it is about sukhdev who was vyasa's son. i of course do not know if vyasa was married.

once vyasa was following his son who was going past river where women folk were bathing. but none bothered. but seeing vyasa following sin son they got alarmed and hurriedly covered themselves before came near. vyasa was offended by this asked them why this deferential treatment for him alone but not sukhdev. they replied, "you are asking!"
