TRANSLATION
In performing his prescribed duties as king, Mahārāja Ambariṣa always offered the results of his royal activities to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, who is the enjoyer of everything and is beyond the perception of material senses. He certainly took advice from  brāhmaṇas  who were faithful devotees of the Lord, and thus he ruled the planet earth without difficulty.
PURPORT
As stated in  Bhagavad-gītā  (5.29):
bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ sarva-loka-maheśvaram suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati
People are very much anxious to live in peace and prosperity in this material world, and here in  Bhagavad-gītā  the peace formula is given personally by the Supreme Personality of Godhead: everyone should understand that Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the ultimate proprietor of all the planets and is therefore the enjoyer of all activities, political, social, cultural, religious, economic and so on. The Lord has given perfect advice in  Bhagavad-gītā , and Ambariṣa Mahārāja, as the ideal executive head, ruled the entire world as a Vaiṣṇava, taking advice from Vaiṣṇava  brāhmaṇas . The  śāstras  enjoin that even though a  brāhmaṇa  may be well versed in the occupational brahminical duties and may be very learned in Vedic knowledge, he cannot give advice as a  guru  until he is a Vaiṣṇava.
