Yayāti’s Proclamation of Hari-Worship and the Ideal Vaiṣṇava Society
in the Mata–Pitri Tirtha Cycle
इत्याज्ञातस्य भूपस्य वर्तते क्षितिमंडले । वैष्णवेनापि भावेन जनाः सर्वे जयंति ते
ityājñātasya bhūpasya vartate kṣitimaṃḍale | vaiṣṇavenāpi bhāvena janāḥ sarve jayaṃti te
ดังนี้ ภายใต้การครองแผ่นดินของพระราชาผู้ได้รับคำสอนเช่นนั้น ความเป็นระเบียบย่อมดำรงทั่วพิภพ; และด้วยจิตใจแบบไวษณพ ชนทั้งปวงย่อมดำรงอยู่ด้วยชัยมงคล เจริญรุ่งเรือง

Concept: Vaiṣṇava-bhāva is not merely private piety; under a properly instructed king it becomes a civilizational force producing order, prosperity, and ‘jaya’ (victorious flourishing).
Application: Cultivate Vaiṣṇava-bhāva—non-violence, truth, compassion, service—so that family/work communities become orderly and resilient; support leaders and institutions that protect dharma.

FAQs
It links societal well-being to two factors: a properly guided ruler and a populace imbued with Vaiṣṇava virtues, resulting in stability and collective flourishing.
It implies a devotional and dharmic disposition aligned with Viṣṇu—qualities like compassion, non-violence, truthfulness, and reverence—seen as sustaining harmony and success.
Leadership should be grounded in right instruction and dharma, and society thrives when people cultivate virtuous, devotional character rather than mere power or wealth.
