Here the king entrusts the realm to another for the sake of his own pleasure. It is significant that Samvarana, having handed everything to his minister, stays on the mountain to enjoy himself: the ruler sets aside the burden of governance for his own happiness. Here appears the beginning of a lapse in duty: even though rule is entrusted to a worthy man, a king must not withdraw from his people altogether. Thus the scripture shows the fine line between permitted rest and neglect of duty; and Samvarana's delight, "like that of an immortal," will soon turn into calamity for the kingdom he has forgotten.
