TRANSLATION
The southern gate of the city was known as Pitrhū, and through that gate King Puranjana used to visit the city named Daksina-pancala accompanied by his friend Srutadhara.
PURPORT
The right ear is used for karma-kanḍiya, or fruitive activities. As long as one is attached to the enjoyment of material resources, he hears from the right ear and uses the five senses to elevate himself to the higher planetary systems like Pitrloka. Consequently the right ear is here described as the Pitrhū gate.
