The King is advised to do good deeds when God has bestowed riches upon him. Money spent in a good cause is money well spent. Money belongs to him who spends it. Everything in this world is transient and none should feel proud of his possessions which are bound to perish. True God alone shall abide forever. K&#257ru&#7749 could be a very rich man so named after the historical Croesus, king of Lydia, 560-546 BC, known for his fabulous wealth.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1">Kohli, Surinder Singh, <i>A Critical Study of Adi Granth</i>.
