The wisest man in the world is a devotee of the Lord. The sages are called the wise men and there are different types of wise men for different branches of knowledge. Unless, therefore, the king or the head of the state is not the wisest man he cannot control over all types of wise men in the state. In the line of royal succession in the family of Maharaj Yudhisthir, all the kings, without any exception, were the wisest men of their time and so also it is foretold about Maharaj Parikshit and his son Maharaj Janmenjay who was still to be born. Such wise sage-like kings can become the chastiser of the upstarts and the molester of the Kali or the quarrelsome. As it will be clear in the chapters ahead, Maharaj Parikshit wanted to kill the personified Kali who was attempting to kill a cow the emblem of peace and religiosity. The symptoms of Kali are 1. wine. 2. women, 3. gambling and 4. slaughter-house. Wise ruler of all the states should take lessons from Maharaja Parikshit how to maintain peace and morality of the state by subduing the elements of upstarts and quarrelsome people who indulge in wine, illicit connection with women, gambling and meat eating supplied by regularly maintained slaughter houses. In this age of Kali regular licence is issued for maintaining all these different departments of quarrel some people and how they can expect peace and morality in the state? The state fathers, therefore, must follow the principles of becoming wiser by devotion to the Lord, by chastising the breaker of discipline and by molesting the symptoms of quarrel as mentioned above. If we want blazing fire we must use the dry fuel. Blazing fire and moist fuel go ill together. Peace and morality can prosper only on the principles of Maharaj Parikshit and his followers.
