Kapila and Syūmaraśmi on Renunciation, Householder Support, and Epistemic Authority
सर्वेषां यः सुद्वन्नित्यं सर्वेषां च हिते रत: । कर्मणा मनसा वाचा स धर्म वेद जाजले,जाजले! जो सब जीवोंका सुहृद् होता और मन, वाणी तथा क्रियाद्वारा सदा सबके हितमें लगा रहता है, वही वास्तवमें धर्मको जानता है
sarveṣāṃ yaḥ sudvannityaṃ sarveṣāṃ ca hite rataḥ | karmaṇā manasā vācā sa dharma veda jājale jājale ||
हे जाजलि! जो नित्य सर्वांचा सुहृद् असतो आणि मन, वाणी व कर्माने सर्वांच्या हितात रत असतो—तोच खऱ्या अर्थाने धर्म जाणतो.

Educational Q&A
Dharma is not merely ritual or status; it is universal benevolence—being a sincere well-wisher of all and actively working for others’ good through one’s actions, thoughts, and words.
In the Tulādhāra–Jājali discourse of Śānti Parva, Tulādhāra instructs the ascetic Jājali, emphasizing that true righteousness is measured by consistent, practical concern for the welfare of all beings.
