Chapter 16: King Prithu Extolled :

-
Skandham-4.1, Slokam- 1 to 27. (1) Maitreya said: 'The professional reciters, content about hearing the king speak these nectarine words, praised him therefore according to the instructions of the sages: (2) 'We are at a loss to describe in full the glories of you who as the foremost godhead has descended out of your own mercy. Despite of the fact that you appeared from the body of Vena, your glories bewilder the minds of the foremost speakers. (3) Nevertheless we will, in accord with what the wise have told us to do, try to put the name of King Prithu, [of you who are] famed for being a partial incarnation of Lord Vishnu, in the sweetest words. Encouraged in our attention for the liberality and praiseworthiness of your activities, we shall do our best to sing your praises. (4) This king will as the best defender of the faith incite the entire world to follow dutifully. Apart from being the protector of the regulative principles of human nature he is also the chastiser

Skandham-4.1　 Chapter-14.　 Slokam-1 to 46.   (1) Maitreya said: 'The sages headed by Bhrigu, always aspiring the welfare of all the people, having understood of the citizens that the king was absent, also knew that they were then sure to live on the level of animâls.

Chapter-4: The Stories of Siva and Sati, and of Rishabhadeva and Bharata-2. ======================================================================= Sati was in great chagrin that an invitation had not been extended to Siva. She was disturbed that her father had ignored both her and Siva, but as he was her father, she told Siva, “I want to go to my father's yajna.” Lord Siva said, “It is not proper for you to go there.” “Why?” Sati asked. “Daksha does not like me. He has no regard for me, and therefore, you going there is not proper,” replied Siva. But Sati said, “No, he is my father.” “He may be your father, but he hates me, so you should not go if I am not going. I am not responsible for the consequences,” said Siva “What consequences? I shall take care of myself,” Sati told him. “I am telling you again, i
