Text 15] Praise of King Pṛthu by the Professional Reciters
653
asya —of this King;  apratihatam —not being impeded;  cakram —the circle of influence;  pṛthoḥ —of King Pṛthu;  ā-mānasa-acalāt —up to the Mānasa mountain;  vartate —remains;  bhagavān —the most powerful;  arkaḥ —sun-god;  yāvat —just as;  tapati —shines;  go-gaṇaiḥ —with rays of light.
TRANSLATION
Just as the sun-god expands his shining rays up to the Arctic region without impedance, the influence of King Pṛthu will cover all tracts of land up to the Arctic region and will remain undisturbed as long as he lives.
PURPORT
Although the Arctic region is not visible to ordinary persons, the sun nonetheless shines there without impediment. Just as no one can check the sunshine from spreading all over the universe, no one could check the influence and reign of King Pṛthu, which would remain undisturbed as long as he lived. The conclusion is that the sunshine and the sun-god cannot be separated, nor can King Pṛthu and his ruling strength be separated. His rule over everyone would continue without disturbance. Thus the King could not be separated from his ruling power.
