When behaviour changes, so does the world around. In this story this ideal concept has been turned into reality. Megh Kumar, the son of king Lakshmipati of Rangavati, is an ideal ruler. With the help of his intelligence, art, skill, attitude of clemency and charity, high moral character, and unrelenting truthfulness, he accomplishes many impossible deeds. He promulgates five strictures which are pertinent and useful even today. In order to protect his people and the cause of peace, he offers the ideal principles of trusteeship to invaders instead of surrendering. A king is not the master of his state and people, but a protector, guardian, or trustee. On the basis of these ideal principles he turns his kingdom into-the heaven on the earth or an ideal and bountiful state abounding in happiness and peace.
