ਉਹ ਦਿਨ, ਅਨਾਥ, ਬੁਜ਼ੁਰਗ, ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰ, ਰੋਗੀ ਅਤੇ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀਆਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਸਦਾ ਦਇਆ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਨ; ਅਤੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਲਈ ਅੰਨ ਤੇ ਵਸਤ੍ਰ ਵੰਡਣ—ਇਸ ਸੰਵਿਭਾਗ ਦੀ ਰੀਤ ਨੂੰ ਉਹ ਨਿੱਤ ਮਨਜ਼ੂਰੀ ਅਤੇ ਪ੍ਰੋਤਸਾਹਨ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਸਨ।

Educational Q&A
Dharma is expressed through active compassion and regular sharing: protecting and supporting vulnerable people—destitute, helpless, aged, weak, sick, and women—by giving necessities like food and clothing, and by approving such conduct as a social norm.
Indra (Śakra) describes the exemplary behavior of certain people (implicitly righteous householders/rulers): they habitually practiced mercy and endorsed charitable distribution, emphasizing welfare of those most in need.
