Significado

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is also a history of the great rulers of different parts of the universe. In this verse the names of Priyavrata and Uttānapāda, sons of Svāyambhuva, are mentioned. They ruled this earth, which is divided into seven islands. These seven islands are still current, as Asia, Europe, Africa, America, Australia and the North and South Poles. There is no chronological history of all the Indian kings in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, but the deeds of the most important kings, such as Priyavrata and Uttānapāda, and many others, like Lord Rāmacandra and Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, are recorded because the activities of such pious kings are worth hearing; people may benefit by studying their histories.

El Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam relata también las vidas de los grandes gobernantes de diversas partes del universo. En este verso se mencionan los nombres de Priyavrata y Uttānapāda, hijos de Svāyambhuva que gobernaron esta Tierra, que se divide en siete islas. Esas siete islas todavía existen: Asia, Europa, África, América, Australia y los Polos Norte y Sur. El Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam no trata de la historia cronológica de todos los reyes de la India, sino que registra los hechos de los reyes más importantes, como Priyavrata, Uttānapāda y muchos otros, como el Señor Rāmacandra y Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, pues las actividades de reyes tan piadosos merecen ser oídas; la gente puede beneficiarse estudiando sus vidas.
