My dear King Parīkṣit, because Lord Brahmā had finally descended from Satyaloka to Bhūloka, Nārada Muni, Prince Priyavrata and Svāyambhuva Manu came forward to offer him objects of worship and to praise him in highly qualified language, according to Vedic etiquette. At that time, Lord Brahmā, the original person of this universe, felt compassion for Priyavrata and, looking upon him with a smiling face, spoke to him as follows.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
भगवानपि भारत तदुपनीतार्हणः सूक्तवाकेनातितरा- मुदितगुणगणावतारसुजयः प्रियव्रतमादिपुरुषस्तं सदयहासावलोक इति होवाच
bhagavānapi bhārata tadupanītārhaṇaḥ sūktavākenātitarā- muditaguṇagaṇāvatārasujayaḥ priyavratamādipuruṣastaṃ sadayahāsāvaloka iti hovāca
