The term means life or livelihood of the people. Earning a living is often hard. Rulers should show empathy, provide necessary conditions for survival, and draw up suitable policies and systems. They should not bully or harm the people. Good state governance as well as lasting social peace and stability are dependent on this. If life is too harsh and people lack food and shelter, there will be desperation and unrest which will not benefit the rulers either. Providing a decent livelihood is the key to a peaceful and contented populace.
