In this historical novel, the story begins with Lord Krsna's entrance into Dvaraka. As he reaches the city, he blows his conchshell, which summons the citizens to gather before him. The citizens offer prayers and Lord Krsna accepts their offerings. The beauty of Dvaraka, resplendent with natural opulences, is described in detail. Prior to entering Dvaraka's boundaries, the Lord accepts a reception and further reciprocates with the citizens of Dvaraka. As Krsna enters the city, he greets more citizens and exchanges affection with his mothers. He finally enters into each of his 16,108 palaces and sees each of his queens. The transcendental character of the Lord and the spiritual nature of Krsna's relationships with his queens are described. The sages of Naimisaranya turn their questions back to topics about Maharaja Pariksit. Suta Goswami first explains the glories of Maharaja Yudhisthira and the glories of his reign over the earth. Suta then explains the vision of the Lord that Pariksit saw while still in the womb. Sukadeva narrates the birth of Pariksit and Yudhisthira's observance of Pariksit's birth ceremony, which was attended by learned brahmanas who described the Lord's protection of Pariksit. In answer to Yudhisthira's inquiry about how Pariksit will compare to his ancestors, the brahmanas glorify the future qualities of Pariksit. The brahmanas finally describe the future death of Pariksit, and then, after being sufficiently remunerated, return home. Pariksit grows and his qualities develop under Yudhisthira's guardianship. Yudhisthira decides to perform a sacrifice to atone for his own sins. His brothers collect the needed money, and Yudhisthira performed the sacrifice in the presence of Lord Krsna. Vidura returns to Hastinapura after learning the science of the self from Maitreya Muni. Maharaja Yudhisthira questions Vidura about his travels, and Vidura, after replying, stays in Hastinapura for some time. While in Hastinapura, Vidura preaches to Dhrtarastra, his elder brother, to give up his material attachments. Vidura pushes Dhrtarastra to immediately leave home and pursue self-realization. Dhrtarastra finally leaves along with his chaste wife (Gandhari) and Vidura.
