anyāś ca bhagavat-kathāḥ
maitreya uvāca
iti pracetaso rājann
anyāś ca bhagavat-kathāḥ
śrāvayitvā brahma-lokaṁ
yayau svāyambhuvo muniḥ
Maitreya said: O King! After having the Pracetās heard other the topics related to the Lord, Nārada, the son of Brahmā, departed for Brahmaloka.
|| 4.31.24 ||
te 'pi tan-mukha-niryātaṁ
yaśo loka-malāpaham
harer niśamya tat-pādaṁ
dhyāyantas tad-gatiṁ yayuḥ
Hearing the glories of the Lord which destroy all sin from the mouth of Nārada, the Pracetās, meditating on the feet of the Lord, attained his abode.
|| 4.31.25 ||
etat te 'bhihitaṁ kṣattar
yan māṁ tvaṁ paripṛṣṭavān
pracetasāṁ nāradasya
saṁvādaṁ hari-kīrtanam
O Vidura! I have explained to you the conversation between Nārada and the Pracetās which glorifies the Lord, about which you inquired.
|| 4.31.26 ||
śrī-śuka uvāca
ya eṣa uttānapado
mānavasyānuvarṇitaḥ
vaṁśaḥ priyavratasyāpi
nibodha nṛpa-sattama
Śukadeva said: Best of kings! I have described the dynasty of Uttānapada, the son of Svāyambhuva Manu. Now hear about the dynasty of Priyavrata.
|| 4.31.27 ||
yo nāradād ātma-vidyām
adhigamya punar mahīm
bhuktvā vibhajya putrebhya
aiśvaraṁ samagāt padam
Learning knowledge of ātmā from Nārada, Priyavrata, after enjoying the earth, divided it among his sons and attained the Lord’s abode.
|| 4.31.28 ||
imāṁ tu kauṣāraviṇopavarṇitāṁ
kṣattā niśamyājita-vāda-sat-kathām
pravṛddha-bhāvo 'śru-kalākulo muner
dadhāra mūrdhnā caraṇaṁ hṛdā hareḥ
Hearing this from Maitreya, Vidura, his emotions increasing from hearing about the Lord, with tears in his eyes, touched the feet of Maitreya with his head, and mentally touched the feet of the Lord.
|| 4.31.29 ||
vidura uvāca
so 'yam adya mahā-yogin
bhavatā karuṇātmanā
darśitas tamasaḥ pāro
