Either this farmer will become an owner of much land [pÉÔmÉÌiÉÈ] or a king one day.Notes: Even as of today property is always in demand and gives highest possible returns in termsof investment. As population increases, land becomes scarce and even more expensive to obtain.xÉÑuÉhÉïUÉæmrÉ qÉÉÍhÉYrÉxÉlÉæUÌmÉ mÉÔËUiÉÉÈ |iÉjÉÉÌmÉ mÉëÉjÉïrÉlirÉåuÉ M×üwÉMüÉlÉç pÉ£üiÉ×whÉrÉÉ ||4||Sage Parashara says even though the rich or poor may accumulate wealth in terms of gold, silver, jewelsor costly clothes – these people are still dependent on a farmer to feed their hungry stomachs. Thesepeople still keep a lookout for a farmer for regular supply of grains and farm produce.MühPåû MühÉåï cÉ WûxiÉå cÉ xÉÑuÉhÉïÇ ÌuɱiÉå rÉÌS |EmÉuÉÉxÉxiÉjÉÉÌmÉ xrÉÉS³ÉÉpÉÉuÉålÉ SåÌWûlÉÉqÉç ||5||Sage Parashara says that even though the rich may declare their status by displaying their wealth orwearing nice clothes and jewels, without food or shortage of food, these people have to sell off theirpossessions and go in search for food.Notes: History is replete with ample examples where people have sold off prized possessionsduring famines and migrated over distances, to places where food was available and started their lifeafresh!! Here Sage Parashara uses the word [SåÌWûlÉÉqÉç] which indirectly means any living creature bornwith a body – this includes creatures too! So, all living creatures including humans are affected during afamine.A³ÉÇ mÉëÉhÉÉ oÉsÉÇ cÉɳÉqɧÉÇ xÉuÉÉïjÉïxÉÉkÉlÉqÉç |SåuÉÉxÉÑUqÉlÉÑwrÉÉzcÉ xÉuÉåï cÉÉllÉÉåmÉeÉÏÌuÉlÉÈ ||6||Sage Parashara says that grains [A³ÉÇ] or farm produce is the source of sustenance and gives power to anindividual. Devata’s (gods), Rakshashas (demons) and Manushya (humans) are all dependent on food tosustain them.Notes: Apparently this treatise was coined during a period when gods, demons and humans cohabitedthe land. By Hindu legend Gods vanished from sight once the age of kaliyuga dawned uponhumanity. In modern day terms “demons” maybe applied to terrorists or people who indulge in unnecessarywar!!608
