Translation
From your birth up to the coronation of King Nanda, 1,150 years will pass.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
From your birth up to the coronation of King Nanda, 1,150 years will pass.
The years should be enumerated from Parīkṣit onwards. From kings like Mārjārī (grandson of Jarāsandha) a contemporary of Parīkṣit up to Nanda [Note: SB 12.1.9] will be a little less than one thousand five hundred years, a sequence not including period when the kingdom was splintered.
Purport
Although Śukadeva Gosvāmī previously described approximately fifteen hundred years of royal dynasties, it is understood that some overlapping occurred between kings. Therefore the present chronological calculation should be taken as authoritative.
