Men who want to flourish in the guise of servants of the people do not want a good king at the head of the state. They are like the  kumud  flowers, which do not take pleasure in the sunrise. The word  ku  means "bad" and  mud  means "pleasure." Persons who want to exploit the administrative power for their own self-interest do not like the presence of a good king. Although professing democracy, they want themselves to be kings. Thus they compete for votes by bad propaganda and take pleasure in having politics but no king. Thieves and dacoits also take no pleasure in the presence of a good king, but it is the interest of the people to have a well-trained king as the head of the state. ■
