Chapter 29
सत्यनामा वसुमती यं प्राप्पासीज्जनाधिपम् । हिरण्यमवहन् नद्यस्तस्मिज्जनपदेश्वरे
satyanāmā vasumatī yaṃ prāppāsīj janādhipam | hiraṇyam avahan nadyas tasmiñ janapadeśvare ||
ພຣະວາຍຸກ່າວວ່າ: «ແຜ່ນດິນໄດ້ສົມກັບນາມ ‘ວະສຸມະຕີ’ (ຜູ້ຄອບຄອງຊັບ) ຢ່າງແທ້ຈິງ ເມື່ອນາງໄດ້ພົບພຣະອົງຜູ້ເປັນເຈົ້າແຫ່ງມະນຸດນັ້ນ. ໃນຍາມທີ່ພຣະອົງປົກຄອງເປັນຈອມເມືອງ ແມ່ນ້ຳທັງຫຼາຍໃນແດນນັ້ນໄດ້ພາຄຳໄຫຼໄປພ້ອມກັບນ້ຳ».

Educational Q&A
The verse links righteous kingship with the flourishing of the land: when a worthy ruler governs, prosperity becomes natural and abundant—symbolized by rivers bearing gold—showing the ethical idea that dharma in leadership sustains the well-being of the realm.
Vāyu is describing a particular sovereign’s reign as extraordinarily auspicious. He says that the earth became ‘Vasumatī’ in the fullest sense upon gaining such a king, and that during his rule the rivers of that country were so rich that they carried gold along with their waters.
