Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Maitreya said: The Supreme Lord, master of sacrifice, and the enjoyer of sacrifice, appeared along with Indra, and, satisfied with Pṛthu, spoke. In the Twentieth Chapter, after being instructed by the Lord, Pṛthu makes friends with Indra and praises the Lord. The Lord gives him benedictions and then departs. The Lord, bringing his portion Indra, has Pṛthu make peace with Indra, and then gives instructions.
