Mi querido rey Parīkṣit, los sabios eruditos versados en las historias de los Purāṇas elogian y glorifican al rey Gaya con los siguiente versos.
Significado
The historical references to exalted kings serve as a good example for present rulers. Those who are ruling the world at the present moment should take lessons from King Gaya, King Yudhiṣṭhira and King Pṛthu and rule the citizens so that they will be happy. Presently the governments are levying taxes without improving the citizens in any cultural, religious, social or political way. According to the Vedas, this is not recommended.
