As the human being requires protection, similarly, the cows . . . not only cows; everyone requires protection by the government. Why they should be not protected? Therefore because the protection was not given to the cows and the bulls, he immediately took him that, "This rascal is not a kṣatriya; he's a śūdra. In the dress of a king, he's doing mischievous activities. Immediately punish him." This is government's duty. If anyone . . . just like, anyone is breaking law, it is the duty of the government to chastise him, similarly, the law should be . . . exact good government law means that anyone who kills an animal without sanction . . . of course, they now give sanction that, "Yes, you can kill as many animals in the slaughterhouse as you like," because the government is śūdra.

The black man means śūdra. The brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, they were not black. But the śūdras were black. From external point of view, these things are there. Śūdras, another name is kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa means black. So this black man was dressed like a king, and what was he . . . was he going to do? Ghnantaṁ go-mithunaṁ padā. He was trying to kill a pair of cow and bull. So naturally he could understand. Parīkṣit Mahārāja was going on tour, and on his way he saw that this rascal is dressed like a king and he's trying to kill cows and bulls. Oh, he immediately chastised him. Nṛpa—he has dressed like a king, but his business is like śūdra or less than śūdra. Butchers, butchers cannot be intelligent class of men, brāhmaṇa. A brāhmaṇa is not butcher. Neither a kṣatriya. Kṣatriya fights, kills, but in regular religious fight. Not that by whimsically he'll fight and kill men. No. So here it is said, nijagrāhaujasā vīraḥ. A kṣatriya must be vīra, hero. Whenever there is injustice, he must immediately come forward, "Why injustice? These poor animals, they are also my subject. How you can kill them? He's also born in this land." "National" means one is born in that particular land. So they are also born in this land. Why he should be treated differently? Just like in your country, even one Indian gets his child here, the child is counted as USA-born, US citizen, eh? Immediately. So if that is the law, that anyone born in this land should be treated as national, what is this law that the cows and the bulls born in that land, they are to be slaughtered? What is this law?

So it is the duty of the king, emperor . . . immediately detected that, "Why these poor animals are being killed? They are also subject to the laws of the state." As the human being requires protection, similarly, the cows . . . not only cows; everyone requires protection by the government. Why they should be not protected? Therefore because the protection was not given to the cows and the bulls, he immediately took him that, "This rascal is not a kṣatriya; he's a śūdra. In the dress of a king, he's doing mischievous activities. Immediately punish him." This is government's duty. If anyone . . . just like, anyone is breaking law, it is the duty of the government to chastise him, similarly, the law should be . . . exact good government law means that anyone who kills an animal without sanction . . . of course, they now give sanction that, "Yes, you can kill as many animals in the slaughterhouse as you like," because the government is śūdra. Government, it is not kṣatriya. So therefore is no protection. Why animal? Even a human being, if he's being killed on the street, on the broad . . . (indistinct) . . . nobody cares for it. So this is the position. But Parīkṣit Mahārāja was not such a king or such a head of the executive . . . he immediately punished. Therefore it is mentioned specially, ojasā vīraḥ kalim: Kali is to be punished.
