Educational Q&A
Dharma endures when it is anchored in established moral boundaries (maryādā). Such disciplined restraint prevents ethical collapse and allows spiritual merit/austerity (tapas) to accumulate and grow without selfish attachment.
Parāśara is instructing his listener using a vivid analogy: just as a strong dam within a river’s course does not break and helps sustain a robust flow, so a well-established ‘embankment’ of dharma, fixed in traditional norms, remains stable and fosters the growth of accumulated spiritual power.
