There lived a king there by the name of Janak. He possessed all the good virtues one can imagine of, and there was no one comparable or akin to him anywhere in the world. (That is, Janak was an extremely wise, enlightened and acclaimed king. He possessed peerless noble virtues and grand qualities the like of which no one possessed at that time anywhere on earth. The other name of king Janak was ‘Shir-dwaj’. There was no king who was like him in the past, no one at that current time, and no one would be in the future. See verse no. 7.)
