अनुवाद
Neither from robbers nor from deceivers, nor from one another, nor from the king's favorites, O king, were false words heard. Neither drought nor flood, neither plague nor fire-disasters — none of this existed while Yudhishthira, ever devoted to dharma, reigned.

The absence of falsehood is set beside the absence of droughts and plagues — as if truthful speech and the health of the elements share one root. It is telling that under a righteous king, deceit falls silent even among the "king's favorites": the example of the head purifies the ways of court and people alike. The verse teaches that truth in the mouth of the ruler establishes truth everywhere, and his faithfulness to dharma wards off calamity itself. Where righteousness rules, not only human falsehood diminishes but also the disorder of nature; the piety of the sovereign is an unseen shield of the kingdom against every ruin.
