TRANSLATION

The ruler of this island was another son of Mahārāja Priyavrata. His name was Ghritaprishtha, and he was a very learned scholar. He also divided his own island among his seven sons. After dividing the island into seven parts, named according to the names of his sons, Ghritaprishtha Mahārāja completely retired from family life and took shelter at the lotus feet of the Lord, the soul of all souls, who has all auspicious qualities. Thus he attained perfection.
