PURPORT

In this chapter the clue for describing Srimad Bhagwatam is picked up in the matter of miraculously saving the Maharaj Parikshit in the womb of his mother. This was caused by Drouni (Aswathwama) son of Acharya Drona, who killed the five sons of Droupadi while asleep and for which he was punished by Arjuna. And before commencing the great epic literature Srimad Bhagwatam Sri Vyasdeva realised the whole truth by trance in devotion.
