santim apnoti caivagryam
karmana tena santanuh
sama dvadasa tad-rajye
na vavarsa yada vibhuh
santanur brahmanair uktah
parivettayam agrabhuk
rajyam dehy agrajayasu
pura-rastra-vivrddhaye
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
Because the King was able to make everyone happy for sense gratification, primarily by the touch of his hand, his name was Santanu. Once, when there was no rainfall in the kingdom for twelve years and the King consulted his learned brahminical advisors, they said, “You are faulty for enjoying the property of your elder brother. For the elevation of your kingdom and home, you should return the kingdom to him.”
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
One cannot enjoy sovereignty or perform an agnihotra-yajña in the presence of one’s elder brother, or else one becomes a usurper, known as parivetta.
