Dharma-vyādha’s Analysis of Moral Decline and the Mahābhūta–Guṇa Schema (धर्मव्याधोपदेशः)
रक्षितारं च राजानं ब्राह्मणं च तपस्विनम् । अभिगम्याभिपूज्याथ सद्यः पापात् प्रमुच्यते,प्रजाकी रक्षा करनेवाले राजा और तपस्वी ब्राह्मणके पास जाकर उनकी सेवा-पूजा करके मनुष्य तत्काल सब पापोंसे मुक्त हो जाता है
rakṣitāraṃ ca rājānaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ ca tapasvinam | abhigamyābhipūjyātha sadyaḥ pāpāt pramucyate ||
प्रजेचे रक्षण करणाऱ्या राजाजवळ आणि तपस्वी ब्राह्मणाजवळ जाऊन जो विधिपूर्वक सेवा-पूजा करतो, तो तत्काळ पापातून मुक्त होतो.

Educational Q&A
Respectful approach and sincere honoring of two pillars of dharma—just royal protection of society and authentic ascetic-spiritual discipline—has purificatory power, freeing one from sinful taint and reorienting one toward righteous living.
Yudhiṣṭhira states a dharma-principle: one who goes to a protector-king and to an austere Brahmin and pays them due honor gains immediate release from sin, highlighting the social and spiritual authorities that sustain order and moral life.
