Bhagvat Puran Skandh 4 Adhyay 15

When the sages try again, they get two bodies from the arm of the dead king Ven. Two beings emerge from that as Pruthu and Archi, who are identified as the incarnation of Lord Shri Vishnu and Laxmi ji. As people start praising Maharaj Pruthu he stops them and explains that they should not praise him before they see his karma. We learn some leadership lessons through his sentences.
