Śrī–Indra–Bali Saṃvāda: The Departure and Fourfold Placement of Lakṣmī
तस्य सम शतमाचार्या वसन्ति सतत गृहे । दर्शयन्त: पृथग्धर्मान् नानाश्रमनिवासिन:
tasya samaśatam ācāryā vasanti satataṃ gṛhe | darśayantaḥ pṛthag dharmān nānāśramanivāsinaḥ ||
उसके यहाँ सदा सौ आचार्य निवास करते थे। वे भिन्न-भिन्न आश्रमों के निवासी थे और अलग-अलग धर्मों का उपदेश देते रहते थे।

Educational Q&A
Dharma is multi-faceted and is best understood through sustained instruction from qualified teachers representing different āśramic disciplines; ethical governance benefits from hearing diverse, tradition-grounded perspectives.
Bhīṣma describes a ruler’s household where a hundred ācāryas permanently reside, each from different āśramas, continually teaching distinct aspects of dharma to guide conduct and policy.
