शौनक उवाच
Dharma is upheld through an eightfold discipline: worship/ritual duty, sacred study, generosity, austerity, truthfulness, forgiveness, self-restraint, and non-greed—balancing outward religious action with inward moral control.
In Śaunaka’s speech, the discussion turns to defining dharma in practical terms, listing the principal virtues and practices by which a person’s conduct becomes righteous and socially sustaining.
