Translated Text:
I ask these to know
how does a settler, by his proper actions,
strengthen the world with righteousness?
He is a humble intellectual
who is a true leader of the lawful
and is recognized as the ruler of the rewarded.
Commentary:
As against a wandering parasite, a settled humble intellectual promotes the world through his righteous actions. In turn, such a person is recognized by the prosperous law-abiding as their true leader.
Pondering Point:
“A truthful leader prioritizes the advancement of society by an intellectual understanding of the laws of existence.”
