TEXT No. 14

Jane anagasi agham yunjan sarvaton asya madbhayam
Sadhunam bhadram eva syad asadhu damane krite.


ENGLISH SYNONYMS

Jane—unto the living beings, Anagasi—those who are offenceless, Agham—sufferings, Yunjan—by applying, Sarvato—anywhere and everywhere, Asya—of such offender, Madbhayam—fears from me, Sadhunam—of the honest persons, Bhadram—auspiciousness, Eva—certainly, Syad—will take place, Asadhu—dishonest miscreants, Damane—curbed down, Krite—being so done.


TRANSLATION

Anyone who is accustomed to cause suffering on offenceless living beings must be afraid of me anywhere and everywhere in the world. And by curbing down the dishonest miscreants automatically auspiciousness is bestowed upon the offenceless.


PURPORT

Dishonest miscreants flourish on account of coward impotent executive head of the state. But when such executive head is strong enough to curb down all sorts of dishonest miscreants, in any part of his state, certainly they cannot flourish at any length. When the miscreants are punished in an examplary manner automatically all auspiciousness follow upon the innocent and offenceless living beings. As said before, it is the prime duty of the king or the executive head to give protection in all respects to the peaceful offenceless citizens of the state. The devotees of the Lord are by nature peaceful and offenceless and as such it is the duty of the state to arrange for converting everyone to become a devotee of the Lord and thus automatically there will be all peaceful offenceless citizens of the state and the only duty of the king will be to curb down the dishonest miscreants. That will bring about peace and harmony all over the human society.
