दक्षिणा-दिक्, पितृपक्ष-प्रतिष्ठा, तथा कर्मगतिः — Suparṇa’s Cosmographic Instruction
यस्यां पूर्व मतिर्याता यया व्याप्तमिदं जगत् । चक्षुषी यत्र धर्मस्य यत्र चैष प्रतिक्तित:
yasyāṃ pūrva matir yātā yayā vyāptam idaṃ jagat | cakṣuṣī yatra dharmasya yatra caiṣa pratiktitaḥ ||
ଯେ ଦିଗରେ ପୁରାତନ ମତି ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ହୋଇଛି, ଯାହାଦ୍ୱାରା ଏହି ସମଗ୍ର ଜଗତ୍ ବ୍ୟାପ୍ତ—ସେଠାରେ ଧର୍ମର ଦୁଇ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ଅଛି; ଏବଂ ସେଠାରେ ଏହି ତତ୍ତ୍ୱ ସ୍ପଷ୍ଟ ଭାବେ ପ୍ରତିପାଦିତ।

Educational Q&A
Dharma is presented as an all-pervading principle grounded in ancient, well-established understanding; true moral vision depends on the ‘two eyes’ of Dharma—clear discernment rooted in authoritative tradition and right perception.
Yuparṇa is emphasizing the authority and universality of Dharma, pointing to a recognized teaching or standpoint—something already affirmed by earlier wisdom—and describing it as the means by which one properly ‘sees’ what is right.
