[60] Pūrṇimā said with contemplation: 'According to the method of the Mahābhārata, Yudhiṣṭhira’s extensive kingship will come about only from his sixtieth year, after the Bhārata war. And Śrī Viṣṭaraśravas, by being equal in age to Arjuna, is three years younger than Yudhiṣṭhira; therefore it is observed that he will then attain fifty-seven years of age. But there, the destruction of Śālva and Dantavakra occurred prior to that war, prior to the thirteen years consisting of dwelling in the forest and incognito; thus, in calculating the time of his return to Vraja, only forty-four years remain. Regarding his maintaining the earth while staying in the city through another manifestation after that time, the view of the Śrī-Bhāgavata is distinct from the Mahābhārata; therefore, because of the impossibility of bringing them into a single consistent statement, the assumption of a difference in kalpas is simply adopted. But that is not applicable here. Therefore, let that be; let what is under discussion be taken up.'
