कपिलगोसंवादे गृहस्थ-त्यागधर्मयोः प्रमाण्यविचारः
Kapila–Cow Dialogue: Authority of Householder and Renunciant Dharmas
बुद्ध्वा च स महातेजा न चचाल च जाजलि: । धर्मे कृतमना नित्यं नाधर्म स त्वरोचयत्
buddhvā ca sa mahātejā na cacāla ca jājaliḥ | dharme kṛtamanā nityaṃ nādharma sa tvarocayat ||
हे सर्व जाणूनही महातेजस्वी जाजलि ढळले नाहीत. त्यांचे मन नित्य धर्मातच रमत असे; म्हणून अधर्माचे कोणतेही कृत्य त्यांना मान्य नव्हते.

Educational Q&A
True commitment to dharma is shown by steadiness: even after learning something that could provoke agitation or compromise, a dharmic person remains unmoved and refuses to endorse adharma.
Bhīṣma describes the sage Jājali’s reaction upon understanding a certain matter: Jājali does not become disturbed or change course; because his mind is continually fixed on dharma, he does not accept or approve any unrighteous action.
