Maitreya continued: O best of the Kuru dynasty, I shall now describe to you the descendants of Svāyambhuva Manu, who was born of a part of a plenary expansion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. ।। 4-8-6 ।।

मैत्रेय ने आगे कहा : हे कुरुश्रेष्ठ, अब मैं आपके समक्ष स्वायंभुव मनु के वंशजों का वर्णन करता हूँ जो भगवान् के अंशांश के रूप में उत्पन्न हुए थे। ।। ४-८-६ ।।
Svāyambhuva Manu had two sons by his wife, Śatarūpā, and the names of the sons were Uttānapāda and Priyavrata. Because both of them were descendants of a plenary expansion of Vāsudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, they were very competent to rule the universe to maintain and protect the citizens. ।। 4-8-7 ।।

स्वायंभुव मनु को अपनी पत्नी शतरूपा से दो पुत्र हुए जिनके नाम थे—उत्तानपाद तथा प्रियव्रत। चूँकि ये दोनों श्रीभगवान् वासुदेव के अंश के वंशज थे, अत: वे ब्रह्माण्ड का शासन करने और प्रजा का भलीभाँति पालन करने में सक्षम थे। ।। ४-८-७ ।।
King Uttānapāda had two queens, named Sunīti and Suruci. Suruci was much more dear to the King; Sunīti, who had a son named Dhruva, was not his favorite. ।। 4-8-8 ।।

उत्तानपाद के दो रानियाँ थीं—सुनीति तथा सुरुचि। इनमें से सुरुचि राजा को अत्यन्त प्रिय थी। सुनीति, जिसका पुत्र ध्रुव था, राजा को इतनी प्रिय न थी। ।। ४-८-८ ।।
Once upon a time, King Uttānapāda was patting the son of Suruci, Uttama, placing him on his lap. Dhruva Mahārāja was also trying to get on the King’s lap, but the King did not very much welcome him. ।। 4-8-9 ।।

While the child, Dhruva Mahārāja, was trying to get on the lap of his father, Suruci, his stepmother, became very envious of the child, and with great pride she began to speak so as to be heard by the King himself. ।। 4-8-10 ।।
