TRANSLATION
When the great sages were carrying on their discussion in this way, they
saw a dust storm arising from all directions. This storm was caused by the
running of thieves and rogues who were engaged in plundering the citizens.
PURPORT
Thieves and rogues simply await some political upset in order to take the
opportunity to plunder the people in general. To keep thieves and rogues
inactive in their profession, a strong government is always required.
