הוו זהירין ברשות וכו'. כתב הר"ב אע"פ שאתם צריכים להתוודע לרשות כדי לפקח וכו' דעל כיוצא בזה לא אמר שמעיה [בפרק דלעיל משנה י'] כי זו מצוה רבה היא להתוודע להם לפקח על עסקי צבור ומרדכי ורבינו הקדוש יוכיחו. מד"ש בשם רשב"ץ: BE CAREFUL WITH THE GOVERNMENT. Rav: even though you must become known to the government in order to attend to the needs of the people, be careful with them. For Shemaya68In 1:10. was not referring to such cases when he said “do not become known to the government,” as in this case it is a great mitzvah to become known to them, to attend to the needs of the people, as the stories of Mordechai and Rabbi Yehuda HaNassi prove—Midrash Shmuel in the name of Rashbatz.
