राजवृत्त-रक्षा-प्रणिधि-षाड्गुण्योपदेशः
Royal Conduct, Protection, Intelligence, and Policy Measures
यजन्ते च महायज्ैस्त्रयो वर्णा: पृथग्विधै: । युक्ताश्नाधीयते विद्यां यदा रक्षति भूमिप:,जब राजा रक्षा करता है, तब तीनों वर्णोंके लोग नाना प्रकारके बड़े-बड़े यज्ञोंका अनुष्ठान करते हैं और मनोयोगपूर्वक विद्याध्ययनमें लगे रहते हैं
yajante ca mahāyajñais trayo varṇāḥ pṛthagvidhaiḥ | yuktāś cādhīyate vidyāṃ yadā rakṣati bhūmipaḥ ||
Sinabi ni Vasumanā: Kapag ang hari ay nagtatanggol sa kaharian, ang tatlong varna ay nagsasagawa ng mga dakilang yajña sa iba’t ibang paraan, at sa disiplinadong pagtuon ay naglalaan ng sarili sa pag-aaral ng kaalaman. Ipinapakita ng taludtod na ang pag-iingat ng hari ang kundisyong nagpapayabong sa pananampalatayang pangmadla at sa edukasyon sa isang lipunang may kaayusan.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that effective royal protection (rakṣā) is foundational for dharmic life: it enables society to sustain major sacrificial duties and to pursue disciplined learning. Good governance is presented as the enabling condition for religious practice and education.
Vasumanā is describing the social effects of a righteous king’s rule: when the ruler safeguards the kingdom, the three varṇas can peacefully undertake diverse great sacrifices and apply themselves to the study of vidyā, indicating stability, prosperity, and moral order.
