Manvantara· The Manus and right dutyPeace Through Succession and Saṅkīrtana
“To enjoy the results of sacrifices [yajñas], the rulers of the world, namely the sons and grandsons of Manu, discharge the orders of the Supreme Personality of Godhead until the end of Manu’s reign. The demigods also share the results of these sacrifices.”
What the purport teaches
- The rulers in Manu’s line execute the Supreme Personality of Godhead’s orders through the paramparā system, or disciplic succession.
- Anyone interested in peaceful life must participate in this paramparā system and perform yajñas. The rulers and demigods share the results of these sacrifices.
- Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas in Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s succession must perform saṅkīrtana-yajña throughout the world. Spreading this movement satisfies Him and makes people happy.
