True commitment to dharma expresses itself as steady practice of śiṣṭācāra—ethical, disciplined conduct modeled by the wise and well-formed—maintained not occasionally but continually.
The hunter (Vyādha), speaking as a moral instructor, emphasizes that those who genuinely follow dharma are recognized by their constant adherence to exemplary social and ethical conduct.
