Sūta Narrated: The origin of Pṛthu the son of Vena is conducive to the acquisition of wealth, fame, longevity and merit. It is on a par with the Vedas. It is an esoteric secret mentioned by the sages. If any person who is free from jealousy listens to this story or recounts this to others after making obeisance to the Brāhmaṇas, he will never have an occasion to repent over h is omissions and commissions of acts.
