ব্যাসে ক’লে: হে সূত, পুরাণ-সংহিতা ত্ৰিকালব্যাপী—অতীত, বর্তমান আৰু ভবিষ্যৎ—কথা বৰ্ণনা কৰে। ইয়াত কোনো সন্দেহ নকৰিবা, কিয়নো এই সকলো তাৰ পৰিসৰৰ ভিতৰত।
Vyāsa
Listener: Sūta
Scene: Vyāsa, serene and authoritative, reassures Sūta: the Purāṇic compendium speaks a three-times narrative; doubt is out of place. The scene is scholastic, calm, and luminous.
