श्रद्धधाना जितक्रोधा दानशीलानसूयव: । भृतपुत्रा भूतामात्या भृतदारा हानीर्षव:
śraddadhānā jitakrodhā dānaśīlā anasūyavaḥ | bhṛtaputrā bhūtāmātyā bhṛtadārā hānīrṣavāḥ ||
Śakra disse: “Eram pessoas de fé e confiança, tendo vencido a ira. Eram generosas, sem espírito de censura e sem inveja. Sustentavam e amparavam seus dependentes—esposas, filhos e ministros—encarnando o dharma do chefe de família, alicerçado no autocontrole, na dádiva e na boa vontade para com os outros.”

Educational Q&A
The verse praises a model of righteous conduct: faith (śraddhā), mastery over anger, habitual generosity, refusal to disparage others’ good qualities, and freedom from envy—paired with responsible support of one’s dependents and public duties.
Śakra (Indra) is describing the character of exemplary people, highlighting their inner discipline and social responsibility as marks of dharmic life, especially in the context of Śānti Parva’s ethical instruction.
