tatives of Manu. The lawbook for the entire human society is the  Manu-saṁhitā , which directs all activities towards the transcendental service of the Lord. Every king, therefore, must know that his responsibility in administration is not merely to exact taxes from the citizens but to see personally that the citizens under him are being trained in  Viṣṇu  worship. Everyone must be educated in  Viṣṇu  worship and engaged in the devotional service of  Hṛṣīkeśa , the owner of the senses.

By training the citizens in the devotional service of the Lord, the head of a state can be free in his responsibility, otherwise he will fail in the onerous duty entrusted to him and thus be punishable by the supreme authority. There is no other alternative in the discharge of administrative duty.

TRANSLATION
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Janārdana [ Lord  Kṛṣṇa  ], is the form to accept all the results of sacrifice. If He is not satisfied, then one's labor for advancement is futile. He is the ultimate Self, and therefore one who does not satisfy Him certainly neglects his own interests.
PURPORT
Brahmā  is deputed as the supreme head of universal affairs, and he in his turn deputes Manu and others as  chargés d'affaires  of the material
