The land outskirted by the seas means the total land on the earth bordered by the seas was under the subjugation of the King of Hastinapur. Maharaj Yudhisthir trained up his grandson Maharaj Parikshit equally qualified like him in the matter of state administration in terms of the king's obligation upon the citizens and thus Parikshit was enthroned on the seat of Maharaj Yudhisthir prior to his departure for Supreme place back to Godhead. About Maharaj Parikshit the specific word used is Viniyatam is significant. Why the king of Hastinapur at least till the time of Maharaj Parikshit was accepted as the emperor of the world? The only reason is that the people of the world were happy on account of good administration of the emperor. The happiness of the citizens was due to ample production of natural produce such as grains, fruits, milk, herbs, valuable stones, minerals and everything that the people needed and this was the cause of peoples satisfaction. Even they were free from all miseries due to the body, anxieties of mind, disturbances by natural phenomenon and other living beings and because everyone was happy in all respects there was no resentment by the citizens although there was sometimes patched battles between the state-kings on political reasons for supremacy. Everyone was trained up for attainment of the highest goal of life and therefore the people were also enlightened enough not to mind any trifle matter and quarrel for that. The influence of the age of Kali gradually infiltered the good qualities of both the kings and the citizens and therefore tense situation developed between the ruler and the ruled but still, even in this age of disparity between the ruler and the ruled, it can be cemented by spiritual emolument of God consciousness. That is a special prerogative.

The total land on the earth bordered by the seas was under the subjugation of the King of Hastināpura. Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira trained his grandson, Mahārāja Parīkṣit, who was equally qualified, in state administration in terms of the king's obligation to the citizens. Thus Parīkṣit was enthroned on the seat of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira prior to his departure back to Godhead. Concerning Mahārāja Parīkṣit, the specific word used, #i#vinayinam#/i#, is significant. Why was the King of Hastināpura, at least till the time of Mahārāja Parīkṣit, accepted as the Emperor of the world? The only reason is that the people of the world were happy because of the good administration of the emperor. The happiness of the citizens was due to the ample production of natural produce such as grains, fruits, milk, herbs, valuable stones, minerals and everything that the people needed.
