TRANSLATION
After begetting five sons named Vijitāśva, Dhūmrakeśa, Haryakṣa, Draviṇa and Vṛka, Pṛthu Mahārāja continued to rule the planet. He accepted all the qualities of the deities who governed all other planets.
PURPORT
In each and every planet there is a predominating deity. It is understood from  Bhagavad-gītā  that in the sun there is a predominating deity named Vivasvān. Similarly, there is a predominating deity of the moon and of the various planets. Actually the predominating deities in all the other planets are descendants from the predominating deities of the sun and moon. On this planet earth there are two  kṣatriya  dynasties, and one comes from the predominating deity of the sun and the other from the predominating deity of the moon, known as  Sūrya-vamśa  and  Candra-vamśa  respectively. When monarchy existed on this planet, the chief member was one of the members of the  Sūrya  dynasty or  Sūrya-vamśa , and the subordinate kings belonged to the  Candra-vamśa . However, Mahārāja Pṛthu was so powerful that he could exhibit all the qualities of the predominating deities in other planets.
