rājovāca priyavrato bhāgavatāatmārāmaḥ kathaṃ mune gṛhe 'ramata yan-mūlaḥ karma-bandhaḥ parābhavaḥ
The king said: How, O sage, did Priyavrata, a devotee of the Lord who took delight in the self, take pleasure in the household, which is the root of the bondage of action and of ruin?

mahatāṃ khalu viprarṣe uttamaśloka-pādayoḥ chāyā-nirvṛta-cittānāṃ na kuṭumbe spṛhā-matiḥ
Indeed, O sage among brahmins, for great men whose minds are made content by the shade of the feet of him who is praised in the highest verses, there is no thought of longing for family.

This is a great doubt for me, O brahmin: that for one attached to wife, home, sons and the rest there came about perfection, and an unfailing mind (fixed) on Kṛṣṇa.

Śrī Śuka said: Well spoken! Those whose minds have been made to enter into the honey-nectar of the glorious lotus feet of the Lord who is praised in the highest verses do not, as a rule, abandon the narration dear to the paramahaṃsa devotees, nor their own most auspicious path, even when it is somewhat impeded by obstacles.

When indeed, O King, that prince Priyavrata, a supreme devotee, who by service at Nārada's feet had readily come to know the truth of the highest goal, and who was about to be consecrated in the sacrifice of brahman, was invited by his own father to protect the surface of the earth — because he alone was the receptacle of the host of excellent qualities prescribed (for that office) — he did not consent to it, since all his organs of action and their activities had been wholly absorbed, by unbroken samādhi-yoga, in the Lord Vāsudeva alone; and this although it was not to be refused, for in that matter he foresaw his own downfall through something else, unreal though it was.

Then indeed the Lord, the primal god, self-born, whose intention (embraces) the entire world as determined by his continued meditation on the fostering of this emission of the qualities, surrounded by all the Vedas as his own retinue, descended from his own abode.

He, worshipped there and there in the vault of the sky by the chiefs of the immortals along the way with rows of aerial cars, like the lord of the stars (the moon), and hymned on road after road in troops by hosts of Siddhas, Gandharvas, Sādhyas, Cāraṇas and sages, drew near, illuminating the valley of Gandhamādana.

Even one who is liberated must maintain his own body so long (as it lasts), consuming what has been set in motion, empty of any sense of 'I', as one whose sleep has ended (recalls) what was experienced (in dream); but he does not take up the modes so as to (produce) another body.

Manu also, his desire thus confirmed by the Supreme, with the consent of the best of the divine sages installed his son for the maintenance and protection of the whole circle of the earth, and himself desisted from the craving for the reservoir of poison that is the exceedingly perilous objects of sense.

So indeed that lord of the earth, whose authority over works had been imposed by the will of the Lord, having had the sediment of his passions wholly checked by the power of unceasing meditation on the pair of feet of the Lord, the primeval Person, whose supreme majesty destroys all bondage of the world — although (already) purified, yet increasing the honour of the great, went on ruling the surface of the earth.

In that (order) indeed those supreme sages, of tranquil disposition, attained without distinction their own identity with the Lord Vāsudeva — the dwelling place of the whole host of living beings, the refuge of the frightened — who is reached (only) when the inner heart has been suffused by the power of the supreme yoga of devotion, unslackened through unbroken remembrance of his beautiful lotus feet: with him, the very self of all beings, the inward Self.

Thus, when his own sons had taken to the path of tranquillity, the lord of the earth enjoyed the earth for eleven arbudas of years — he by whom the opponents of dharma were silenced by the twang of the bowstring pressed by his pair of rod-like arms, filled with the undiminished essence of all human effort — and (enjoyed) too, with the charming sports and the like of Barhiṣmatī, whose day by day increasing delight, unfolding womanliness, and smiling glances stolen away by modesty (charmed him), so that he seemed as if his discrimination were overcome, as if he did not understand — great-minded though he was.

Since the Lord the sun, circling around the mountain of the gods, illumines the surface of the earth, scorching with just one half and covering (with darkness) with the other half — then he, whose more-than-human power had been built up by worship of the Lord, not approving of that, circled around the sun seven times with a chariot of equal speed, made of light, thinking "I shall make even the night into day," like a second sun.
