Shloka 4
यस्यां पूर्व मतिर्याता यया व्याप्तमिदं जगत् । चक्षुषी यत्र धर्मस्य यत्र चैष प्रतिक्तित:
yasyāṃ pūrva matir yātā yayā vyāptam idaṃ jagat | cakṣuṣī yatra dharmasya yatra caiṣa pratiktitaḥ ||
जिस दिशा में प्राचीन बुद्धि स्थिर हुई है, और जिससे यह समस्त जगत् व्याप्त है—वहीं धर्म की दो आँखें हैं, और वहीं यह तत्त्व स्पष्ट रूप से प्रतिपादित है।

Educational Q&A
Dharma is presented as an all-pervading principle grounded in ancient, well-established understanding; true moral vision depends on the ‘two eyes’ of Dharma—clear discernment rooted in authoritative tradition and right perception.
Yuparṇa is emphasizing the authority and universality of Dharma, pointing to a recognized teaching or standpoint—something already affirmed by earlier wisdom—and describing it as the means by which one properly ‘sees’ what is right.
