tyaktva bandhun su-dustyajan
saunakah uvaca-Sri Saunaka Muni said; yat-as; aha-you said; nah-unto us; bhavan-your good self; suta-O Suta; ksatta-Vidura; bhagavata-uttamah-one of the topmost devotees of the Lord; cacara-practiced; tirthani-places of pilgrimage; bhuvah-on the earth; tyaktva-leaving aside; bandhun-all relatives; su-dustyajan-very difficult to give up.
Saunaka Rsi, after hearing all about the creation, inquired from
Suta Gosvami about
Vidura, as Suta Gosvami previously informed him how Vidura left home, leaving aside all relatives who were very difficult to leave.
The Rsis headed by
Saunaka were more anxious to know about
Vidura, who met Maitreya
Rsi while traveling in the pilgrimage sites of the world.
