The Exposition of the Table of Contents of the Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa
ब्रह्मप्रकृतिविघ्नेशकृष्णखंडसमन्वितम् । तत्र सूतर्षिसंवादे पुराणोपक्रमस्ततः ॥ ६ ॥
brahmaprakṛtivighneśakṛṣṇakhaṃḍasamanvitam | tatra sūtarṣisaṃvāde purāṇopakramastataḥ || 6 ||
此书具足梵天、原质(Prakṛti)、障碍主毗伽尼沙(伽内沙)以及“黑天篇”(Kṛṣṇa-khaṇḍa)等诸分;并且在苏多与诸仙的对话之中,往世书便由此如法开篇。

Primary Rasa: shanta

It signals the Purāṇa’s intended scope by naming its principal thematic sections—cosmic origins (Brahmā/Prakṛti), removal of obstacles (Vighneśa), and devotion-centered narration (Kṛṣṇa-khaṇḍa)—and anchors them in an authoritative dialogue setting.
By explicitly including the Kṛṣṇa-khaṇḍa, the verse indicates that Kṛṣṇa-centered devotion and related teachings form a core strand of the Purāṇa’s narrative and practice-oriented guidance.
This verse is primarily an anukrama (table-of-contents style) statement, emphasizing textual organization and the dialogue framework rather than a specific Vedāṅga; its practical takeaway is how Purāṇas are structured and introduced through recognized speakers like Sūta.
