समन्तपञ्चक-आख्यानम् तथा अक्षौहिणी-प्रमाणनिर्णयः
Samantapañcaka Narrative and the Measure of an Akṣauhiṇī
हरिवंशस्तत: पर्व पुराणं खिलसंज्ञितम् विष्णुपर्व शिशोश्षचर्या विष्णो: कंसवधस्तथा,इसके बाद हरिवंशपर्व है, जिसे खिल (परिशिष्ट) पुराण भी कहते हैं, इसमें विष्णुपर्व, श्रीकृष्णकी बाललीला एवं कंसवधका वर्णन है
Harivaṁśas tataḥ parva purāṇaṁ khila-saṁjñitam; Viṣṇu-parvaṁ śiśoś ca caryā Viṣṇoḥ, Kaṁsa-vadhas tathā.
Pagkaraan nito ay dumarating ang bahaging «Harivaṁśa», isang Purāṇa na itinuturing na «khila» (dagdag/kalakip). Nasa loob nito ang Viṣṇu-parvan, ang mga gawa noong kabataan ni Viṣṇu (Kṛṣṇa), at gayundin ang pagpaslang kay Kaṁsa—kaya’t pinalalawig nito ang salaysay ng angkan tungo sa isang debosyonal at moral na pagsasalaysay ng banal na pag-iingat at pagbagsak ng paniniil.

Educational Q&A
The verse frames the Harivaṁśa as a supplementary Purāṇic continuation that highlights Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa’s life and deeds, implying a moral arc: divine power supports dharma, nurtures the righteous (even through playful childhood līlā), and removes oppressive rule (symbolized by Kaṁsa’s death).
The speaker is listing the contents that follow: after the main Mahābhārata divisions, the Harivaṁśa is introduced as an appendix-like Purāṇa, containing the Viṣṇu-parvan, accounts of Kṛṣṇa’s childhood activities, and the episode of Kaṁsa’s slaying.
