# Priyavrata – Elder Son of Manu

Having concluded the narration of Uttanapada (the younger son of Svayambhuva Manu) and his descendants, Sukadeva Goswami prepared himself to describe the activities of Priyavrata (the older son of Svayambhuva Manu) and his descendants.

Vidura and Maitreya’s conversation thus reached its conclusion. Feeling inspired and purified by the exchange, Vidura fell at Maitreya’s feet and offered all respect and thanks. He then left for the city of Hastinapura to see his relatives and deliver transcendental knowledge to his brother. \[15[^1]]
