Educational Q&A
A king should uphold dharma through properly conducted sacrifices supported by generosity (adequate dakṣiṇā) and inner discipline—faith (śraddhā) and self-control (dama) must guide outward ritual.
Vaiśampāyana addresses the king and urges him to perform many kinds of well-provisioned sacrifices, invoking Yayāti as an exemplary royal model whose ritual life was characterized by faith and restraint.
