मैत्रेय उवाच भृग्वादयस्ते मुनयो लोकानां क्षेमदर्शिनः । गोप्तर्यसति वै नॄणां पश्यन्तः पशुसाम्यताम् ।। ४-१४-१ ।।

sanskrit

The great sage Maitreya continued: O great hero Vidura, the great sages, headed by Bhṛgu, were always thinking of the welfare of the people in general. When they saw that in the absence of King Aṅga there was no one to protect the interests of the people, they understood that without a ruler the people would become independent and nonregulated. ।। 4-14-1 ।।
