# SB 9.1.42 > ततः परिणते काले प्रतिष्ठानपतिः प्रभुः > पुरूरवस उत्सृज्य गां पुत्राय गतो वनम ॥४२॥ ## Text > tataḥ pariṇate kāle > pratiṣṭhāna-patiḥ prabhuḥ > purūravasa utsṛjya > gāṁ putrāya gato vanam ## Synonyms *tataḥ*—thereafter; *pariṇate kāle*—when the time was ripe; *pratiṣṭhāna-patiḥ*—the master of the kingdom; *prabhuḥ*—very powerful; *purūravase*—unto Purūravā; *utsṛjya*—delivering; *gām*—the world; *putrāya*—unto his son; *gataḥ*—departed; *vanam*—to the forest. ## Translation **Thereafter, when the time was ripe, when Sudyumna, the king of the world, was sufficiently old, he delivered the entire kingdom to his son Purūravā and entered the forest.** ## Purport According to the Vedic system, one within the institution of *varṇa* and *āśrama* must leave his family life after he reaches fifty years of age (*pañcāśad ūrdhvaṁ vanaṁ vrajet*). Thus Sudyumna followed the prescribed regulations of *varṇāśrama* by leaving the kingdom and going to the forest to complete his spiritual life. Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Ninth Canto, First Chapter, of the *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,* entitled "King Sudyumna Becomes a Woman."
