After Sukadeva spoke to Parikshit or before? By logic it seems that afterwards. Otherwise how could Vyasa include in the Bhagavatam the conversation between Pariksit and Sukadeva? And death of Maharaja Pariksit? In fact, he included also description of the discussion in Naimsaranya, which took place after Pariksit's death. > Related question: When did Narada meet Vyasadeva and instructed him to > write Srimad-Bhagavatam? Was that in Kali Yuga? >From the discussion between Narada and Vyasa seems clear that at that time Mahabharata was already written (SB.1.5.3). Mahabharata describes (at least Subramaniam's version) Krsna's disappearance. So the discussion between Narada and Vyasa must have taken place after Krsna's disappearance, that means when Kali-yuga already begun (if we take Krsna's disappearance for the beginning of Kali-yuga). If that's what you mean by "historically." In case you mean from the textual critical analysis point of view, that would be another thing. ys.GNdd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
