Suparṇa–Gālava संवाद
अत्र सावर्णिना चैव यवक्रीतात्मजेन च । मर्यादा स्थापिता ब्रह्मन् यां सूर्यो नातिवर्तते
atra sāvarṇinā caiva yavakrītātmajena ca | maryādā sthāpitā brahman yāṃ sūryo nātivartate ||
ここにおいて、婆羅門よ、サーヴァルニと、またヤヴァクリータの子とによって、正しい行いの拘束的な境界が定められた――それは太陽でさえ越えないほど堅固である。

Educational Q&A
That dharma functions as an inviolable boundary (maryādā): when established by authoritative, disciplined sages, it becomes a normative limit so compelling that even cosmic forces like the Sun are portrayed as not transgressing it.
Yuparṇa addresses a Brahmin and points to a specific precedent: Sāvarṇi and the son of Yavakrīta are credited with instituting a rule/boundary of conduct at that place or in that matter, emphasizing the binding power of such established moral order.
