He is as determined as Bali, is absorbed in the most excellent Kṛṣṇa, like PrahlÄda. He will perform horse sacrifices and respect elders. He will have wise kings for descendents, will punish those who deviate from the law, and will punish Kali in order to produce dharma on the earth.
Sad-grahah means “he accepts most excellent.†Having spoken of Pariksit’s qualities, they then describe his activities.
