Maharaja Prthu’s intelligence and education were exactly like that of Yamaraja, the superintendent of death. His opulence was comparable to the Himalaya Mountains, where all valuable jewels and metals are stocked. He possessed great riches like Kuvera, the treasurer of the heavenly planes, and no one could reveal his secrets, for they were like the demigod Varuna’s.
