Sūta said: King Yayāti son of Nahuṣa crowned his son Pūru (as king). O excellent brahmins, it was by that Pūru alone that he had been helped before. People of all castes including the leading brahmins spoke to the king who was desirous of crowning his youngest son:—O lord, how does the youngest son deserve the kingdom after overlooking the claims of the eldest son Yadu, the son of Devayānī and the grandson of Śukra? We are addressing you to keep up the traditional Dharma.”
