सभाप्रवेश: कृष्णस्य विदुलापुत्रशासनम् | उद्योग: सैन्यनिर्याणं विश्वोपाख्यानमेव च,फिर श्रीकृष्णका सभाप्रवेश, विदुलाका अपने पुत्रके प्रति उपदेश, युद्धका उद्योग, सैन्यनिर्याण तथा विश्वोपाख्यान--इनका क्रमश: उल्लेख हुआ है
sabhāpraveśaḥ kṛṣṇasya vidulāputraśāsanam | udyogaḥ sainyaniryāṇaṃ viśvopākhyānam eva ca |
叙事依次列举如下主题：奎师那进入王家议会；毗度罗（Vidulā）劝诫其子，敦促其坚忍不移、立志正当；战争的筹备；诸军出征行进；以及名为《毗湿婆奥帕迦耶那》（Viśvopākhyāna）的叙述。本颂如同主题索引，凸显史诗展开之中，“劝诫”（伦理教导）与“行动”（为冲突而动员）并置而行。

Educational Q&A
That the epic’s movement from counsel to action is deliberate: ethical instruction (Vidulā’s admonition) and political-military action (war preparations and the army’s march) are presented as sequential, interconnected steps in the pursuit of duty and resolve.
The verse is a catalog of upcoming or discussed episodes: Kṛṣṇa enters the assembly, Vidulā advises her son, preparations for conflict begin, armies depart, and the Viśvopākhyāna episode is recounted—marking the progression of themes and events.
