Translation
This King will please everyone by his practical activities, and all of his citizens will remain very satisfied. Because of this the citizens will take great satisfaction in accepting him as their ruling king.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Because he will please (rañjayiṣyati) the world by his activities which are pleasing to the mind, the citizens will call him the King (rāja).
Because the world will be pleased by his acts which give happiness to the mind (manaḥ rañjanakaiḥ), they will call him “king.” Rāja is derived in two ways. Some say rāja comes from rājati (he shines). Here it is said that rāja comes from rañjayati (he attracts or pleases).
