About a King

A metaphor for the King: If the mouth is the master, the King's then:
1st servant are his eyes
2nd servant are his hands, and the
3rd servant are his feet.

While the mouth does all the work, it makes the food reach all the parts of the body, according to what is needed. Therefore the mouth has Vivek (ability to discriminate) to fulfill the needs of the body. Shree Raam says to Bharat that in the same way the Raajaa is the mouth and with his Vivek he has to provide for all of his public. So Bharat should also be like this and look after the kingdom.
