śroṣyaty ātmāśritā gāthāḥ
pṛthuḥ pṛthu-parākramaḥ
WORD BY WORD
tatra tatra — here and there; giraḥ — words; tāḥ tāḥ — many, various; iti — thus; viśruta-vikramaḥ — he whose chivalrous activities are widely reputed; śroṣyati — will hear; ātma-āśritāḥ — about himself; gāthāḥ — songs, narrations; pṛthuḥ — King Pṛthu; pṛthu-parākramaḥ — distinctly powerful.;
TRANSLATION
 | In this way, when the chivalrous activities of King Pṛthu come to be known to the people in general, King Pṛthu will always hear about himself and his uniquely powerful activities.
|
PURPORT
| | To artificially advertise oneself and thus enjoy a so-called reputation is a kind of conceit. Pṛthu Mahārāja was famous amongst the people because of his chivalrous activities. He did not have to advertise himself artificially. One’s factual reputation cannot be covered.
