tatives of Manu. The lawbook for the entire human society is the Manu-
samhita, 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 Visnu worship.
Everyone must be educated in Vignu worship and engaged in the devotion-
al service of Hrgikega, the owner of the senses. The conditioned souls are
meant not to satisfy their material senses but to satisfy the senses of
Hrsikega, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the purpose of the
complete administrative system. One who knows this secret, as disclosed
here in the version of Brahma, is the perfect administrative head. One who
does not know this is a show-bottle administrator. 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, Janardana [ Lord Krgna}, 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

Brahma 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
