It was democracy in disguise that made Rishabha reach power.

Bhagavatham states the virtues of an ideal ruler here. One has to prove himself before accepting Kingly responsibilities.

We will read further about His life in the next session.

Dear Devotee,

Today many people blame our politicians for the harm they do to our country.

But we have to ask ourselves, “When I am responsible for my action and inaction alike, how can I blame others when I do not take up responsibility for my country?”.

Let good people come forward and take responsibility for our nation.

HariOm!

(Bhagavatham 5.4.1 – 5.4.7)
