Prithu received a warm welcome by his people, the entire country was decorated for honouring him.

Wherever he stopped, he listened to them and gave them whatever they needed. His fame spread all over the world.

Prithu’s life and the noble work in the later years is described beautifully here. Once the great king conducted a Yagam and addressed every one, “when we want clarity in the matters of Dharma, we seek advice from wise people. It will help us to take wise decisions that will ensure well being for all. Let me present this matter as my opinion, not as my advice to you”.

He added, “our Rishis appointed me as the ruler, so it is my duty to protect my people, while punishing the sinners. It is my duty to provide for my people and make the unwise people observe their duty as well. Both doing my duty and making you do your duty will bring grace to me”.

Note – This is an excellent example to learn how to present a matter before others. The politeness of the King is remarkable here.

The best example of  governance can be seen here, observed by a mighty king.
