यच्चापि सुकृतं कर्म वाचं चैव सुभाषिताम्।
समीक्ष्य पूजयन् राजा धर्ममाप्नोत्यनुत्तमाम्॥
इन्दिश्चे स्प्रूचे ५०१९ महाभारते

This couplet from Mahabharatham underlines the fact that it is the duty of the King or State to discover and honour the meritorious words, creations and poetical works as well as noble and valorous deeds performed by the constituents
The king, when he happens to notice that something very praiseworthy, valorous and great has been achieved, and when he hears or learns about the great words spoken, the great compositions or works of literature created, then it his duty to honour the performers. By doing so, he would attain great, bordering on the ultimate, merits spiritually and materially too
(Of course the work should be really meritorious and should not be judged on the basis of personal prejudices. )
K V ANANTHANARAYANAN
यःthat राजा king सुकृतं done well, anoble कर्म done वाचं words सुभाषितं well spoken च एव too समीक्ष्य having come to known having come to his notice तौ those two पूजयन् bestowing greatest consideration and honours वर्तते remain सः he अनुत्तमां great without comparison, peerless धर्मं आप्नोति attains merits, attain virtues.
