From the protection of Dharmaraja, from the upholding of truth, and from the destruction of enemies, the subjects were each engaged in their own work. From the proper collection of taxes and from ruling according to dharma, Parjanya rained abundantly, and the land flourished. Every undertaking prospered — cattle-herding, plowing, trade; and all of this, above all, arose from the deeds of the king.

The king's righteousness echoes in nature itself: "Parjanya rained abundantly." It is telling that harvest and rain are tied here not merely to husbandry but to the ruler's dharma — piety on the throne bears abundance in the fields. The verse teaches an ancient truth: the moral and natural orders are not separate; where truth is upheld and law rules, heaven itself answers with favor. The king is not only the ordainer of men but a link between earth and heaven; and where he is faithful to dharma, the very elements serve the good of his subjects.
