If a person says, “One who is situated on the exalted throne of a king should not stand up to show respect to another king or a brāhmaṇa,” it is to be understood that he does not know the superior religious principles.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana

ये पारमेष्ठ्यं धिषणमधितिष्ठन्न कञ्चन । प्रत्युत्तिष्ठेदिति ब्रूयुर्धर्मं ते न परं विदुः
ye pārameṣṭhyaṃ dhiṣaṇamadhitiṣṭhanna kañcana | pratyuttiṣṭhediti brūyurdharmaṃ te na paraṃ viduḥ
