638 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 15

TRANSLATION

As a person with a sense of honor and magnanimity does not like to
hear about his abominable actions, a person who is very famous and
powerful does not like to hear himself praised.

TRANSLATION

King Prthu continued: My dear devotees, headed by the sita, just now |
am not very famous for my personal activities because I have not done
anything praiseworthy you could glorify. Therefore how could | engage
you in praising my activities exactly like children?

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fifteenth Chapter, Fourth
Canto, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “King Prthu’s Appearance and
Coronation.”
