Prabhupāda: If actually they follow the principle, the Vedic principles, then the ideal king will be a good leader. These are. . . And nature will help. Therefore it is said that during the reign of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, kāmaṁ vavarṣa parjanyaḥ sarva-kāma-dughā mahī (SB 1.10.4). Mahī, the earth. You get all your necessities from the earth. It does not fall from the sky. Yes, it falls from the sky in the form of rain, but they do not know the science, that how things are coming from earth by the different arrangement. Under certain condition the rain falls, and astral influence. Then so many things are produced—the valuable stones, the pearls. They do not know how these things are coming. So therefore, if the king is pious, to help him the nature also cooperates. And the king. . . If the government is impious, then nature will not cooperate. That we have also information in the Fourth Canto, I think. King. . .? What is that? Pṛthu. Pṛthu Mahārāja, yes.
Nitāi: Pṛthu Mahārāja. When the earth was not supplying. . .
Prabhupāda: Yes. He was going to punish the earth. And he (she) said, "This is my duty. All the demons there are. I must restrict supply." So these people, they do not know. They think that simply by resolution in the Parliament they will make all, everything. And they may become all rascals. This will not make the world happy. They will simply deteriorate more and more. They do not know.
