ÅšrÄ«la Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ« said to MahÄrÄja ParÄ«ká¹£it: O King, thus far you have heard the description of the dynasty of the sun-god. Now hear the most glorious and purifying description of the dynasty of the moon-god. This description mentions kings like Aila [PurÅ«ravÄ] of whom it is glorious to hear.
