TRANSLATION

The great sage Maitreya Muni said to Vidura: The royal dynasty of King
Piru is worthy to serve the pure devotees because all the descendants of
that family are devoted to the Personality of Godhead. You are also born
in that family, and it is wonderful that because of your attempt the
transcendental pastimes of the Lord are becoming newer and newer at
every moment.
