Bhāgavatam is the Answer
607
PURPORT
The present duration of a  kalpa  of Brahmā is called Varāha-kalpa or Śvetavarāha-kalpa because the incarnation of the Lord as Varāha took place during the creation of Brahmā, who was born on the lotus coming out of the abdomen of Viṣṇu. Therefore this Varāha-kalpa is also called Pādma-kalpa, and this is testified by  ācāryas  like Jīva Gosvāmī as well as Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākur in pursuance of the first commentator, Svāmī Śrīdhara. So there is no contradiction between the Varāha and the Pādma-kalpa of Brahmā.

TRANSLATION
Śaunaka Rṣi, after hearing all about the creation, inquired from Sūta Gosvāmī about Vidura, as Sūta Gosvāmī previously informed him how Vidura left home, leaving aside all relatives who were very difficult to leave.
PURPORT
The Rṣis headed by Śaunaka were more anxious to know about Vidura, who met Maitreya Rṣi while traveling in the pilgrimage sites of the world.
