Whenever a king does nothing about The wicked inhabitants in his realm, “ ‘ “Then there will be terrible dishonesty And dreadful people will vanquish his land. The armies of adversaries will invade And will completely destroy that land, “ ‘ “And they will destroy property and families. People will steal from one another, Using many forms of dishonesty, Whatever wealth has been accumulated.⁴¹⁴ “ ‘ “There are the duties of kingship, And if those activities are not carried out, Then he will destroy his own kingdom Like a king of elephants destroys a pond. “ ‘ “Disastrous winds will blow, Disastrous rains will fall, And the sun, the moon, the planets, And lunar asterisms will bring disaster. “ ‘ “In the land where the king is impassive, Seeds, harvests, flowers, and fruit Will fail to ripen properly And famines will occur. “ ‘ “Whenever a king does nothing about The wicked inhabitants in his realm, Then the devas in their palaces Will at that time become displeased.⁴¹⁵ “ ‘ “All of those lords of devas Will be saying to one another, ‘This king⁴¹⁶ has no righteousness; He is on the side of unrighteousness.’ “ ‘ “Such a king will before long Cause the devas to be disturbed, And because the devas are disturbed, His kingdom will be completely destroyed. “ ‘ “Unrighteousness will arise in that land, And it will also be destroyed by weapons.⁴¹⁷ Dishonesty and conflicts And also illness will arise. “ ‘ “The lords of devas will be enraged, And the devas will abandon him. The kingdom will be destroyed, And the king will encounter misery. “ ‘ “He will be separated from those he loves, Whether they be brothers or sons. He will even be separated from his beloved wife, Or it will be that his daughter will die. - [Previous: 194](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556~en-84000.194) - [Next: 196](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556~en-84000.196) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་གསེར་འོད་དམ་པ་མདོ་སྡེའི་དབང་པོའི་རྒྱལ་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556.195) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556~en-84000.195](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d556~en-84000.195) · Pramāṇa
