Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī said to Mahārāja Parīkṣit: O King, thus far you have heard the description of the dynasty of the sun-god. Now hear the most glorious and purifying description of the dynasty of the moon-god. This description mentions kings like Aila [Purūravā] of whom it is glorious to hear.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Śukadeva Gosvāmī: O King, thus far you have heard the description of the dynasty of the sun-god. Now hear the purifying description of the dynasty of the moon-god, in which famous kings like Aila (Purūravā) are glorified. The Fourteenth Chapter describes how Budha (Mercury) was born by the Moon in Tārā, the wife of his guru Bṛhaspati (Jupiter), and how his son Aila produced six sons in Urvaśī.
