Kṛtayuga Description and Instruction on Royal Dharma
यर्थर्तुवर्षी भगवान् न तथा पाकशासन: । न चापि सर्वबीजानि सम्यगू रोहन्ति भारत,भगवान् इन्द्र भी ठीक वर्षाऋतुके समय जलकी वर्षा नहीं करेंगे। भारत! भूमिमें बोये हुए सभी बीज ठीकसे नहीं जमेंगे
yathā ṛtuvarṣī bhagavān na tathā pākaśāsanaḥ | na cāpi sarvabījāni samyag urohanti bhārata ||
যেনেকৈ ঋতুকালত যথাসময়ত বৰষুণ বৰ্ষণ কৰাটো ভগৱানৰ বিধান, তেনেকৈ পাকশাসন ইন্দ্ৰৰো উচিত সময়মতে জলবৃষ্টি কৰা। হে ভাৰত! তেওঁ যদি ঠিক সময়ত বৰষুণ নবৰ্ষায়, তেন্তে মাটিত বোৱা সকলো বীজো সঠিকভাৱে অঙ্কুৰিত নহ’ব।

Educational Q&A
Timely, appropriate action by those who hold power or responsibility sustains life and prosperity; neglect of duty—like rain withheld in season—causes widespread harm, even to those who have done their part (sowing the seed).
Vaiśaṃpāyana uses the agricultural image of seasonal rain and seed-sprouting to explain cause and effect: if Indra does not send rain at the proper time, crops fail. The comparison supports a broader point about order, duty, and the dependence of society on right governance and timely support.
