Next we are seeing the honour and appreciation bestowed upon Prithu by all earthly and heavenly beings.  All Gods and Devas presented him with the best equipment for administration and warfare. He accepted every thing with a graceful courtesy.

Then Sootha and Magadha began to praise his glory.

Prithu did not approve it and he said, “look, it is not yet time to praise me. I haven’t done any thing so far. Let me prove myself first and then you can praise me.

The noblest men would not like hearing even honest praising , ordinary people would appreciate what they deserve and narrow minded people will want to hear  flattery, even if they don’t deserve it. I don’t want to be one among them. So, please praise the Lord, not me”.

Note – we can see the importance of a ruler here. Even Gods want to empower the king who is taking up such a huge responsibility. The rulers always enjoy a lot of privileges, why?

Because their bodies and surroundings should be truly comfortable, then only their mind can focus on crucial matters in their administration.
