Educational Q&A

Worldly supports—home, wealth, land, spouse, and friends—are helpful but not ultimate; they can be found or replaced in different places, so one should not cling to them as the highest security and should ground conduct in dharma rather than mere possession or convenience.

Brahmadatta is instructing by classifying certain practical resources as ‘secondary allies’ (upamitra), emphasizing their availability and thus their impermanent, contingent nature within a broader ethical discourse typical of the Śānti Parva.
