94. Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 2

yat yat—whatever; dcarati—executes; sreyan—a first-class man with
full knowledge of religious principles; itarah—the subordinate man; tat
tat—that; ihate—performs; sah—he (the great man); yat—whatever;
pramaénam—as evidence or as the right thing; kurute—accepts; lokhah—
the general public; tat—that; anuvartate—follows.

TRANSLATION

The mass of people follow the example of a leader in society and
imitate his behavior. They accept as evidence whatever the leader
accepts.

PURPORT

Although Ajamila was not punishable, the Yamaditas were insisting
on taking him away to Yamaraja for punishment. This was adharma,
contrary to religious principles. The Visnuditas feared that if such ir-
religious acts were allowed, the management of human society would be
spoiled. In modern times, the Krsna consciousness movement is trying to
introduce the right principles of management for human society, but un-
fortunately the governments of Kali-yuga do not properly support the
Hare Krsna movement because they do not appreciate its valuable ser-
vice. The Hare Krsna movement is the right movement for ameliorating
the fallen condition of human society, and therefore governments and
public leaders in every part of the world should support this movement
to completely rectify humanity’s sinful condition.
