Translation

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: After hearing from the great sage Maitreya about the Lord’s incarnation as Varāha, Vidura, who had taken a vow, begged him with folded hands to please narrate further transcendental activities of the Lord, since he [Vidura] did not yet feel satisfied.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Śukadeva said: Vidura, strong in his vows, after hearing the story of the Lord as Varāha described by Maitreya, again inquired from Maitreya with folded hands, not being fully satisfied. The Fourteenth Chapter describes how Diti approached her husband who was not inclined in the evening. She then repented. Evil sons and a pious grandchild were born. The word ca means “certainly.”
