Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 5 - Chapter 1 - Verse 16

Sanskrit:

तत्रायं श्लोक:—प्रैयव्रतं वंशमिमं विरजश्चरमोद्भ‍व: । अकरोदत्यलं कीर्त्या विष्णु: सुरगणं यथा ॥ १६ ॥

ITRANS:

tatrāyaṁ ślokaḥ — praiyavrataṁ vaṁśam imaṁvirajaś caramodbhavaḥakarod aty-alaṁ kīrtyāviṣṇuḥ sura-gaṇaṁ yathā

Translation:

There is a famous verse about King Viraja. “Because of his high qualities and wide fame, King Viraja became the jewel of the dynasty of King Priyavrata, just as Lord Viṣṇu, by His transcendental potency, decorates and blesses the demigods.”

Purport:

Within a garden, a flowering tree attains a good reputation because of its fragrant flowers. Similarly, if there is a famous man in a family, he is compared to a fragrant flower in a forest. Because of him, an entire family can become famous in history. Because Lord Kṛṣṇa took birth in the Yadu dynasty, the Yadu dynasty and the Yādavas have remained famous for all time. Because of King Viraja’s appearance, the family of Mahārāja Priyavrata has remained famous for all time.
