Differences in the Parva between Vyasa and Kasidas

In this Parva, like many other, there is a difference between what Vyasa wrote and what Kasidas had.

1. Vyasa has two parvas, Mahaprasthanika Parva (The Book of the Great Journey) and Svargarohana Parva (The Book of the Ascent to Heaven) which is merged into one Swargarohan Parva.
2. The reasons for the deaths of the Pandava brothers differ between the two versions.
3. The dog, following Yudhistira, is mentioned much later.
