The Dynasty of Mahārāja Nimi
163
There are many instances of excellent government under a monarch. Gradually the democratic government is becoming unfit for the needs of the people, and therefore some parties are trying to elect a dictator. A dictatorship is the same as a monarchy, but without a trained leader. Actually people will be happy when a trained leader, whether a monarch or a dictator, takes control of the government and rules the people according to the standard regulations of the authorized scriptures.

जन्मना जनकः सोऽभूद् वैदेहस्तु विदेहजः । मिथिलो मथनाज्जातो मिथिला येन निर्मिता ॥१३॥
janmanā janakaḥ so 'bhūd vaidehas tu videhajaḥ mithilo mathanāj jāto mithilā yena nirmitā
janmanā —by birth;  janakaḥ —born uncommonly, not by the usual process;  saḥ —he;  abhūt —became;  vaidehaḥ —also known as Vaideha;  tu —but;  videha-jaḥ —because of being born from the body of Mahārāja Nimi, who had left his material body;  mithilaḥ —he also became known as Mithila;  mathanāt —because of being born from the churning of his father's body;  jātaḥ —thus born;  mithilā —the kingdom called Mithilā;  yena —by whom (Janaka);  nirmitā —was constructed.
TRANSLATION
Because he was born in an unusual way, the son was called Janaka, and because he was born from the dead body of his father, he was known as Vaideha. Because he was born from the churning of his father's material body, he was known as Mithila, and because he constructed a city as King Mithila, the city was called Mithilā.
