The king is noted for establishing religion and he is the protector of his subjects. He is (like) Indra (a protector of all beings) like Shukra (a propounder of morals) like Brihaspati (an adviser) and (therefore) he is (justly) styled the ruler of our destiny.
राजा वै प्रथितोधर्मः प्रजानां पतिरेव च। स एव शक्रः शुक्रश्च सधाता च बृहस्पतिः॥
