(Bhagavatham 5.1.20 – 5.1.28)

Lord Brahma concluded His advice to Priyavratha to accept Kingly responsibilities.

Priyavratha accepted it wholeheartedly. When a Guru advises, the disciple must obey it. That alone can brighten his future. His acceptance made Manu very happy and Sage Narada too.

Brahma Deva departed for His Sathyaloka and Manu happily renounced his worldly duties and enthroned his son.

Priyavratha, with his mind focussed on the Lord knew that he should abide by His Will. He got married to Barhishmathi, the daughter of Viswakarma. Ten sons and a daughter named Urjaswathi were born to them.

Priyavratha had another wife who gave birth to three sons, who became ‘Manuantharathibhas’ later.

Note –  Priyavratha knew that the Supreme Intelligence knows better than him, what is good for him.

This ‘power of acceptance’ gives strength to us in all challenging and confusing situations.
