Srimathe Ramanujayanamaha!

Sri Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam!!

 

8.The king should have the knack to see that his subjects do not jump his

orders.

 

9. Should be like a rishi in ruling his kingdom with his senses under his

control, with no selfishness and with no interest on pleasures. Should not wish

for wealth or desires and work for the well-being of the society with the

awareness that every thing in the universe is Bhagavan’s divine body and with

that love, he should rule his kingdom.

 

10. He should have the capacity to transform all those who hate him and all

those who oppose him into his friends.

 

11. Control on ‘indriyaas’ is essential for a ruler. If it is not there, along

with him, his people also face ruin.

 

12.He should procure enough money for the treasury and be benevolent enough to

spend for welfare activities.

 

Thus Valmiki Bhagavan described Dasaratha’s qualities and denoted how a ruler

should be.

 

(Sixth Sarga concluded)

Jai Srimannarayana!

Ramanujamma Mudumbai, Ramanuja Dasi.
