Here the righteous kingdom draws to itself both the learned and the laboring. It is significant that brahmins come first, and then merchants and craftsmen: under the shelter of dharma both the spiritual and the worldly flourish. Here it is seen that good rule attracts the good: where dharma is, there knowledge and prosperity gather. Thus the scripture reveals the flourishing of Indraprastha; and the gathering of good people is the fruit of righteous rule.
