English TranslationOf horses know Me to be Uccaiс╕е┼Ыrav─Б, produced during the churning of the ocean for nectar. Of lordly elephants I am Air─Бvata, and among men I am the monarch.
English Commentary The devotee demigods and the demons ( asuras ) once took part in churning the sea. From this churning, nectar and poison were produced, and Lord ┼Ъiva drank the poison. From the nectar were produced many entities, of which there was a horse named Uccaiс╕е┼Ыrav─Б. Another animal produced from the nectar was an elephant named Air─Бvata. Because these two animals were produced from nectar, they have special significance, and they are representatives of Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa. Amongst the human beings, the king is the representative of Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa because Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa is the maintainer of the universe, and the kings, who are appointed on account of their godly qualifications, are maintainers of their kingdoms. Kings like Mah─Бr─Бja Yudhiс╣гс╣нhira, Mah─Бr─Бja Par─лkс╣гit and Lord R─Бma were all highly righteous kings who always thought of the citizensтАЩ welfare. In Vedic literature, the king is considered to be the representative of God. In this age, however, with the corruption of the principles of religion, monarchy decayed and is now finally abolished. It is to be understood that in the past, however, people were more happy under righteous kings.
