श्री शुक उवाच
निशम्य वाचं वदतो मुनेः पुण्यतमां नृप ।
भूयः पप्रच्छ कौरव्यो वासुदेवकथादृतः ॥ १ ॥

sri suka uvaca

nisamya vacam vadato

muneḥ punyatamam nrpa

bhūyaḥ papraccha kauravyo

vasudeva-kathadrtaḥ

sri sukaḥ uvaca-Sri Sukadeva Gosvami said; nisamya-after hearing; vacam-talks; vadataḥ-while speaking; muneḥ-of Maitreya Muni; punyatamam-the most virtuous; nrpa-O King; bhūyaḥ-then again; papraccha-inquired; kauravyaḥ-the best amongst the Kurus (Vidura); vasudeva-katha-topics on the subject of the Personality of Godhead, Vasudeva; adrtaḥ-one who so adores.

TRANSLATION

Sri Sukadeva Gosvami said: O King, after hearing all these most virtuous topics from the sage Maitreya, Vidura inquired further on the topics of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, which he adored to hear.

PURPORT

The word adrtaḥ is significant because it indicates that Vidura had a natural inclination for hearing the transcendental message of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and he was never fully satisfied though continuing to hear those topics. He wanted to hear more and more so that he could be more and more blessed by the transcendental message.
