Vidura inquired from Maitreya: O greatly advanced devotee, who were the Pracetās? To which family did they belong? Whose sons were they, and where did they perform the great sacrifices?
Purport
The great Nārada’s singing, in the previous chapter, of three verses in the sacrificial arena of the Pracetās gave another impetus to Vidura to ask further questions.

Translation
Vidura said: Who were the Pracetas? Whose sons were they? In whose family did they become famous? Where was the sacrifice performed?
In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that Nārada recited some verses about Dhruva at the sacrifice of the Pracetas (SB 4.12.40). Anvavāye means “in the family.”
