That Kshatriya, who, knowing. well the royal duties, take sovereignty upon himself, controlling his soul at all times, regarding that which is dear and that which is not in the same light and living upon the residue of sacrificial feats, who is engaged in restraining the wicked and cherishing the righteous, who compels his subjects to follow the path of virtue and who himself follows that path, who at last hands over his crown to his son and retires into the forest, there to live on the products of the forest and act according to the ordinances of the Vedas after having thrown off all idleness, that Kshatriya who acts thus, following the well-known duties of kings,-is sure to reap excellent fruits in both this world and the next. The final emancipation, you speak of, is lightly difficult to obtain, and its pursuit is attended with many obstacles.
