O King, are your wives, citizens, secretaries and servants and the merchants who sell spices and oil under your control? Are you also in full control of ministers, the inhabitants of your palace, your provincial governors, your sons and your other dependents?

The master or king and his subordinates should be interdependent. Through cooperation, both of them can be happy.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
O King! Are your wives, citizens, counselors, servants, merchants, the inhabitants of your palace, ministers, provincial governors, land owners and sons under your control? Moreover, if all the people obey the king there is happiness. Śreṇyaḥ refers to sellers of oil and betel nut.
