PURPORT

The sages of Naimisaranya became struck with wonder after hearing about the wonderful administration of Maharaja Pariksit, especially with reference to his punishing the personality of Kali and making him completely unable to do any harm within the kingdom. Suta Gosvami was equally anxious to describe Maharaja Pariksit's wonderful birth and death, and this verse is stated by Suta Gosvami to increase the interest of the sages of Naimisaranya.
