Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse praises abhaya-dāna—giving fearlessness, i.e., not causing fear or harm and offering protection—as a practical ethical discipline. One who lives by it gains social support, material stability, good fortune, and a reputation for excellence.

What is happening in the narrative?

Tulādhāra continues his instruction on dharma, explaining how a particular moral practice (here, the conduct characterized as granting fearlessness) becomes established and what benefits accrue to the person who embodies it.
