Verse 1.3.13: Today we are discussing the 8th incarnation of the Supreme Lord, which is King Rsabhadev. Summarizing how the Supreme Lord came to be the son of Kind Nabhi and his wife Merudevi. They prayed and performed austerities to have a son like the Supreme Lord, but He told them that there is no one like Him, so He Himself will come as their son.
King Rsabhadev sets the path of perfection for the rest of humanity. He also had 100 sons, the prominently known among them is Maharaj Bharat. King Rsabhadev instructs His sons to tapasya, austerity, so that the real purpose of life is fulfilled.
Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 5, Chapter 5 is completely immersed in these instructions that King Rsabhadev gives to His sons, which are so potent even today to all of us. We read 5.5.1, 5.5.2 and 5.5.3 translations too, as a glimpse into King Rsabhadev's instructions.
