Educational Q&A
A righteous ruler upholds dharma through dāna and protection: providing food, drink, clothing, and shelter to those who depend on him, thereby sustaining social order and relieving distress.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Yudhiṣṭhira, praised as foremost among donors, distributes necessities—varied foods and drinks, garments, beds, and seats—so that all who have sought his support are made content.
