TRANSLATION
He [Maharaja Pariksit] repeatedly addressed and questioned the bull
thus: O son of Surabhi, who has cut off your three legs? In the state of
the kings who are obedient to the laws of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, Krsna, there is no one as unhappy as you.
PURPORT

The kings or the executive heads of all states must know the codes of
Lord Krsna (generally Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam) and must
act accordingly in order to fulfill the mission of human life, which is to
make an end to all miseries of material conditions. One who knows the
codes of Lord Krsna can achieve this end without any difficulty. In the
Bhagavad-gita in a synopsis we can understand the codes of Godhead, and
in the Srimad-Bhagavatam the same codes are explained further.

In a state where the codes of Krsna are followed, no one is unhappy.
Where such codes are not followed, the first sign is that three legs of the
representative of religion are cut off, and thereby all miseries follow.
When Krsna was personally present, the codes of Krsna were being fol-
lowed without question, but in His absence such codes are presented in the
pages of Srimad-Bhagavatam for the guidance of the blind persons who
happen to be at the helm of all affairs.
