A monarch is certainly a representative of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As stated in the Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ, sarva-loka-maheÅ›varam: the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the proprietor of all planetary systems. In each and every planet there must be some king, governmental head or executive. Such a person is supposed to be the representative of Lord Viṣṇu. On behalf of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he must see to the interests of all the people. Therefore Lord Viṣṇu, as ParamÄtmÄ, gives the king all intelligence to execute governmental affairs. ÅšrÄ«la RÅ«pa GosvÄmÄ« therefore asked the King what was in his mind concerning ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu and indicated that whatever the King thought about Him was correct.
