सर्वेषां यः सुद्वन्नित्यं सर्वेषां च हिते रत: । कर्मणा मनसा वाचा स धर्म वेद जाजले
sarveṣāṃ yaḥ sudvannityaṃ sarveṣāṃ ca hite rataḥ | karmaṇā manasā vācā sa dharma veda jājale jājale ||
Tulādhāra berkata: “Wahai Jājali! Sesiapa yang menjadi sahabat baik bagi semua makhluk, dan sentiasa tekun pada kebajikan semua—dengan perbuatan, dengan fikiran, dan dengan kata-kata—dialah yang benar-benar mengetahui dharma.”

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.
