Twice-born Ksatriyas!

Verse 1.17.5 (Yugal Kishore Prji):

* Maharaj Parikshit as he is traveling, happened to see the conversation of Mother Earth in the form of the cow and Dharma in the form of a bull.
* He also saw that Kali, as a king, was beating the legs of the Bull.
* So he became angry and said: Oh, who are you? You appear to be strong and yet you dare kill, within my protection, those who are helpless! By your dress you pose yourself to be a godly man [king], but by your deeds you are opposing the principles of the twice-born ksatriyas.
* That is the duty of a ruler.
* But today, practically there are no such good rulers. And that's because people also are like that only.
* The rulers don't do anything good for anyone these days.
* But previous rulers were not like that. For eg: Shivaji Maharaj. His mother Jijia bhai used to tell him how to protect the cows, how to protect people.
- One time a muslim ruler was killing a cow, then Shivaji got angry and took a sword and just killed the person who was trying to kill a cow.
- He was so daring that he killed so many soldiers who killed cows.
- That is a ksatriya. One who protects others from being hurt.
* India also, so much unhappiness exists now, because cows are being killed, calves are being killed.
* Today's mothers, they don't know the glory of India, cause we have been reading only about Lord Wellesley, Benting or Mccauley, but not about the Kings who saved cows from being slaughtered or who protected the citizens as valuable ksatriyas.
