The Sūtas Foretell the Glories and Future Deeds of King Pṛthu
अन्तर्बहिश्च भूतानां पश्यन् कर्माणि चारणै: । उदासीन इवाध्यक्षो वायुरात्मेव देहिनाम् ॥ १२ ॥
antar bahiś ca bhūtānāṁ paśyan karmāṇi cāraṇaiḥ udāsīna ivādhyakṣo vāyur ātmeva dehinām
普利图王将借助密探洞察臣民内外一切行止,然无人能知其侦察之法。面对赞誉与毁谤,他仍安住中立,如同身中遍在内外的生命之风(普拉那之气),虽显现于内外,却不偏于诸事。
This verse says a righteous king may supervise everyone’s activities for protection and justice, yet remain personally detached—like the all-pervading air and like the Supersoul within all beings.
Because he could know what was happening throughout the kingdom and regulate it, while remaining unbiased and unattached—pervading in oversight without becoming entangled.
Do your duty of supervision (at home, work, or community) with fairness and awareness, but avoid ego, favoritism, and personal entanglement in others’ actions.
