Vaiśampāyana sprach: „Unter diesem Volk werden sie zu keiner Zeit feindselig oder entgegenwirkend handeln.“
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Those in positions of honor and authority must not turn adverse to the populace; even in hardship, dharma requires restraint, goodwill, and protection of the people.
Vaiśampāyana reassures the listener that no hostile conduct will be shown toward the subjects, emphasizing continued ethical responsibility toward the people during the events of the Āśramavāsika period.
