Prabhupāda: . . . so we have explained ''rājarṣi'', the big kings just like Manu, Ikṣvāku coming from the sun god. The Indians, it is known that there are two kinds of ''Kṣatriya'' dynasty. One is coming from the sun, and another is coming from the moon. ''Candra-vaṁśa'' and ''sūrya-vaṁśa''. So here we specially refer to the dynasty coming from Sūrya, or the sun god. So there is no question of impersonalism. Sun god is a person. He is the resident, or the predominating deity, in the sun planet, and from there by descendants Manu and Ikṣvāku. In this way Ikṣvāku dynasty is there always in the ''Rāmāyaṇa''. Maharaja Ikṣvāku, the forefather of Lord Rāmacandra ''raghuvānśī''.

So the kings were supposed to know the science of God. This is the . . . (indistinct) . . . because the king, or the monarch, used to rule over the country and the special business of human form is to understand the science of Kṛṣṇa, or the science of religion—whatever you call it—or the science of the human goal of life. That is missing. Nobody knows the science of human goal of life, the science of human birth or the science of human society. Nobody knows. They are living just like animals, cats and dogs, simply working:

:''divā cārthehayā rājan''
:''kuṭumba-bharaṇena vā''
:''nidrayā hriyate naktaṁ''
:''vyavāyena ca vā vayaḥ''
:([[vanisource:SB 2.1.3|SB 2.1.3]])

:''divā cārthehayā rājan''
:''kuṭumba-bharaṇena vā''
:([[vanisource:SB 2.1.3|SB 2.1.3]])

This is the materialistic way of life.
