Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 Ch. 14 Text 41 TRANSLATION You are always the protector of the deserving living beings, such as br€hmaŠas, children, cows, women and the diseased. Could you not give them protection when they approached you for shelter? PURPORT The br€hmaŠas, who are always engaged in researching knowledge for the society’s welfare work, both materially and spiritually, deserve the protection of the king in all respects. Similarly, the children of the state, the cow, the diseased person, the woman and the old man specifically require the protection of the state or a katriya king. If such living beings do not get protection by the katriya, or the royal order, or by the state, it is certainly shameful for the katriya or the state. If such things had actually happened to Arjuna, Mah€r€ja Yudhi˜hira was anxious to know about these discrepancies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
