TRANSLATION

You will have a nice son, who will be in no way inferior to Lord Brahma.
Consequently, he will be very famous all over the universe, and the sons
and grandsons generated by him will fill the three worlds.

PURPORT

As explained in the next verse, the Pracetas will marry the daughter of
the great sage Kandu. It is suggested that the son’s name will be Visruta
and that he will glorify both his father and mother because of his
good character. In fact, he would be greater than Lord Brahma. The great
politician Canakya said that if there is a good tree within a garden or
forest, its flowers will fill the forest with their fragrance. Similarly, a good
son within a family makes the whole family famous all over the world.
Krsna took birth in the family of the Yadus, and consequently the Yadu
dynasty is famous all over the world.
