Sūta said: After propitiating the Sūta by means of words (and desirous of hearing) another story for that purpose, (he said)—“Hereafter O Sage conversant with the Kalpa, recount Pratisandhi to me. I wish to know this, viz.: the interim period between the two Kalpas i.e. the Kalpa that has passed and the Kalpa that is current. I wish to know the Pratisandhi (the period of transit) between these two. Indeed, you are sufficiently well-versed.”
