Translation
The son of Kṛtavīrya was Arjuna. He [Kārtavīryārjuna] became the emperor of the entire world, consisting of seven islands, and received mystic power from Dattātreya, the incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus he obtained the mystic perfections known as aṣṭa-siddhi.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
The son of Kṛtavīrya was Arjuna. He [Kārtavīryārjuna] became the emperor of the entire world, consisting of seven islands, and received power from Dattātreya, the incarnation of the Lord.
If the dynasty of Yadu was cursed by Yayāti, how did Arjuna become the king of the world? He was given powers by Dattātreya.
