kÄ«rtyordhva-gÄ«tayÄ pumbhis
trailokye tatra tatra ha
praviá¹£á¹aḥ karṇa-randhreá¹£u
strīṇÄá¹ rÄmaḥ satÄm iva
kÄ«rtyÄ - by reputation; Å«rdhva-gÄ«tayÄ - by loud declaration; pumbhiḥ - by the general public; trai-lokye - all over the universe; tatra tatra - here and there; ha - certainly; praviá¹£á¹aḥ - entering; karṇa-randhreá¹£u - in the aural holes; strīṇÄm - of the women; rÄmaḥ - Lord RÄmacandra; satÄm - of the devotees; iva - like.
In this verse the words strīṇÄm and rÄmaḥ are significant. It is the practice amongst ladies to hear and enjoy the praises of certain heroes. From this verse it appears that Pá¹›thu MahÄrÄja’s reputation was so great that ladies all over the universe would hear of it with great pleasure. At the same time, his glories were heard all over the universe by the devotees, and they were as pleasing as Lord RÄmacandra’s glories. Lord RÄmacandra’s kingdom is still existing, and recently there was a political party in India named the RÄmarÄjya party, which wanted to establish a kingdom resembling the kingdom of RÄma. Unfortunately, modern politicians want the kingdom of RÄma without RÄma Himself. Although they have banished the idea of God consciousness, they still expect to establish the kingdom of RÄma. Such a proposal is rejected by devotees. Pá¹›thu MahÄrÄja’s reputation was heard by saintly persons because he exactly represented Lord RÄmacandra, the ideal king.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fourth Canto, Twenty-second Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “Pá¹›thu MahÄrÄja’s Meeting with the Four KumÄras.â€
