TRANSLATION
Suta Gosvami continued: When Vidura became inspired to hear of the
activities of Lord Krsna in His various incarnations, Maitreya, also being
inspired and being very pleased with Vidura, began to praise him. Then
Maitreya spoke as follows.
PURPORT
Talk of krsna-katha, or topics about Lord Krsna or His incarnations, is
so spiritually inspiring that the reciter and hearer are never exhausted.
That is the nature of spiritual talks. We have actually seen that one can
never become satiated by hearing the conversations between Vidura and
Maitreya. Both of them are devotees, and the more Vidura inquires, the
more Mailreya is encouraged to speak. A symptom of spiritual talks is
that no one feels tired. Thus upon hearing the questions of Vidura, the
great sage Maitreya did not feel disgusted but rather felt encouraged to
speak al greater length.
