Explanation:
The most important didactic section of the Mahabharata is the Bhagavad Gita, which contains the advice/instruction offered by Lord Krishna to Arjuna. Didactic refers to something that is meant for the purposes of instruction.
Indra, a prominent deity symbolizing valour, warfare, and rain, is invoked in a mantra of Rigveda which is probably used in Hindu marriages.
Lord Ganesha was the scribe according to tradition, and Vyasa dictated the text of the Mahabharata to the deity.
