Educational Q&A
A ruler’s dharma is to personally assume the heavy responsibility of protection and governance; when this burden is borne with great, well-directed strength (bala-yoga), society becomes peaceful and satisfied.
Vasumanā states a principle of rājadharma: the king, by taking up the foremost burden and safeguarding the people with strong support and disciplined power, brings contentment to the entire realm.
