King Prithu felt fortunate and blessed by the Satsang he received from the Sages. Afterwards, noblest of the noble men, Prithu lived his life as an ideal example for everyone to follow. According to time, place, health, relevance and wealth he performed his duty.

Ordinary people always follow their leaders, so he did his duty keeping their welfare in his mind.

He surrendered his Karma before the Lord, by thinking, ‘the only result that I want form this action is that, the Lord must be pleased by this and nothing else”.

The Sun is not affected by the actions of all creatures in this creation, even though his presence is needed for their life and all the actions. Similarly, whatever actions he did through his sensory organs physically, Prithu remained a witness to his own actions, with his mind focused on the Supreme Lord alone.

Prithu’s virtues as a great king are narrated beautifully here. The next (twenty third) chapter describes the fag end of his life; we will see it in the next session.

Note – many times in life, we get into a dilemma and ask ourselves “What should I do now? What is my Dharma here and now?”.
