Śakra disse: “Eles mostravam continuamente compaixão pelos destituídos, pelos desamparados, pelos idosos, pelos fracos, pelos doentes e pelas mulheres; e aprovavam e incentivavam regularmente a prática de partilhar—distribuindo alimento e vestes para o seu sustento.”

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.
