शक्र म्हणाला—ते आपल्या भृत्यांना व मंत्र्यांना संतुष्ट ठेवत; कृतज्ञ आणि प्रिय बोलणारे होते. ते प्रत्येकाचा यथोचित सन्मान करीत, कोणाचाही अनर्थ करीत नसत, लज्जा-शील पाळीत आणि व्रत-नियमांचे पालन करीत.

Educational Q&A
A ruler’s dharma is shown through humane administration: keep officials and dependents content, speak kindly, be grateful, honor people appropriately, avoid causing harm, cultivate modesty, and maintain disciplined vows—these traits sustain social order and moral authority.
Indra (Śakra) is describing exemplary conduct—listing the virtues and administrative habits of ideal leaders/people—emphasizing ethical governance and personal restraint as marks of dharmic rule.
