Text 49] The Lord Slays the King of the Demons 171

vate yogam proktavan aham avyayam vivasvan manave praha: “This
instruction was given to Vivasvan, the sun-god, who in turn instructed
his son Manu.”’ Manu gave the law known as Manu-sarhita, which is
full of directions based on varna and dsrama concerning how to live as a
human being. These are very scientific ways of life, but under the rule of
demons like Hiranyakasipu, human society breaks all these systems of
law and order and gradually becomes lower and lower. Thus there is no
peace in the world. The conclusion is that if we want real peace and order
in the human society, we must follow the principles laid down by the
Manu-samhita and confirmed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
Krsna.
