tasmād dharmapradhānena sādhyo 'rthaḥ saṁyatātmanā | viśvastēṣu hi bhūtēṣu kalpatē sarvam eva hi ||
ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ຜູ້ມີຕົນຄວບຄຸມໄດ້ ຄວນສືບສານເປົ້າໝາຍທາງວັດຖຸໂດຍໃຫ້ທັມມະເປັນຫຼັກ—ປະພຶດຄວາມຊອບທັມກ່ອນ ແລ້ວຈຶ່ງຄ່ອຍສະແຫວງຫາຊັບສິນ. ເພາະສັດທັງປວງໄວ້ໃຈຜູ້ອຸທິດຕົນໃຫ້ທັມມະ; ແລະເມື່ອຄວາມໄວ້ໃຈເກີດຂຶ້ນທົ່ວໄປ ກິດການຂອງຄົນກໍສໍາເລັດໂດຍຕົນເອງ.

Educational Q&A
Artha (wealth and practical success) should be pursued only under the primacy of dharma and with self-restraint; a dharma-centered person naturally gains the trust of all beings, and that trust makes one’s goals easier to accomplish.
Vaiśampāyana continues a didactic passage in Śānti Parva, emphasizing ethical governance of life: prioritizing dharma, restraining the mind, and explaining how social trust arises from righteousness and leads to success in worldly affairs.
