The learned brāhmaṇas, who were very satisfied with the charities of the King, addressed him as the chief amongst the Pūrus and informed him that his son was certainly in the line of descent from the Pūrus.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
The satisfied brāhmaṇas said to the humble king: O best of men! Though the pure dynasty of Puru was destroyed by unavoidable destiny, this son has been given as mercy to you by the powerful Viṣṇu. Therefore he will be known as Viṣṇu-rāta, “Gift of Viṣṇu,” and without doubt, in this world will be the best, the greatest devotee, O fortunate King!
Commentary

Though the pure (śukle) dynasty of the Purus was destroyed (upeyuṣi), this son was given (rātaḥ). The brāhmaṇas say “without doubt” to the King who did not believe that his son had such qualities.
