Educational Q&A
Compassion (dayā) toward all beings is presented as a defining mark of dharmic character: it makes a person universally trustworthy, because their intentions are non-harming and protective rather than exploitative.
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing on ethical qualities; in this line he highlights that universal compassion leads to being trusted by all creatures, framing dayā as a practical social and moral virtue.
