Educational Q&A
Surplus wealth and comforts should be shared with the destitute; economic practices like interest-bearing loans are framed as instruments meant to keep wealth circulating and to prevent the needy from being abandoned.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and right conduct, Bhīṣma teaches the king about ethical use of wealth, urging redistribution of excess and explaining the social rationale behind the institution of kusīda (interest-bearing lending).
