Vyasa emergence

व्यासोत्पत्तिवर्णनं नाम चतुश्चत्वारिंशोऽध्यायः
Vyasa emergence (story of his birth) description Chapter 44



बाल उवाच |
(God in the form of a) child said (to sage Vyasa)



कण्ठे स्थित्वा तव ब्रह्मन्नन्तर्याम्यहमीश्वरः |
सेतिहासपुराणानि सम्यङ्निर्मापयाम्यहम् || 113 ||
Staying on your neck/throat, I, the God, Brahman (divine element), one who is inside (or soul), I will properly create/construct Puranas with history.

This adds a lot of weight to the Puranas. The great God himself made sage Vyasa compose them, and "properly".
