TRANSLATION
Sri Sita Gosvami said: O learned saints, the childhood pastimes
of Sri Krsna are very wonderful. Maharaja Pariksit, after hearing
about those pastimes of Krsna, who had saved him in the womb of
his mother, became steady in his mind and again inquired from
Sukadeva Gosvami to hear about those pious activities.

Maharaja Pariksit inquired: O great sage, how could things done
in the past have been described as being done at the present? Lord

kaumara age. How then, during His pauganda age, could the boys
have described this incident as having happened recently?
