Maharaj Parikshit, a just ruler!

Verse 1.4.12: Basically the rulers should work for the welfare of the citizens. Maharaj Parikshit would take care of all the living beings, including animals, and ensure that their needs are met. Eg: Maharaj Parikshit is ready to kill the sudra, in the dress of a ksatriya, who is trying to kill a cow.

The head should make sure that the essential needs of the family members are met, and should impart spiritual knowledge too. How to do this:
1) Association of devotees
2) Chanting of Holy names
3) Krishna Prasadam
4) Serving Vaishnavas
