When the ruler becomes cognizant of the activities of evil times, ‘Kali’, he must investigate into the conditions favourable for its spread.  Emperor Parikshit analyzed the situation and declared that Kali or wickedness can have sway only through the incompetence of the ruler, the loss of self-reliance among the people and the decline in the earning of Grace. These three are the factors that promote the plans of Kali. Without them, man cannot fall a prey to its wiles. Hence, Parikshit promoted alertness and leadership through personal example to his people. “Yatha raja, thatha praja” (As the ruler, so the ruled) is the proverb, he said. As their king, he attempted to give no room to injustice, force, evil character, untruth and violence; he formulated preventive plans to effectively check the influence of Kali.
