The great sage Maitreya continued: In this way the reciters who were glorifying Mahārāja Pṛthu readily described his qualities and chivalrous activities. At the end, Mahārāja Pṛthu offered them various presentations with all due respect and worshiped them adequately.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Maitreya said: Glorified by the reciters, Pṛthu then satisfied them with gifts after worshipping and glorifying them. In the Seventeenth Chapter, when starving people begged him for food, Pṛthu catches the earth, who had seized everything, and in fright, the earth praises Pṛthu. Chandayām āsa means “he satisfied them.”
