Completion of the Aśvamedha
एष धर्मो महायोगो दानं भूतदया तथा । ब्रह्मचर्य तथा सत्यमनुक्रोशो धृति: क्षमा
eṣa dharmo mahāyogo dānaṃ bhūtadayā tathā | brahmacaryaṃ tathā satyam anukrośo dhṛtiḥ kṣamā ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“此即是法；此即是大瑜伽：布施、怜悯一切众生、梵行（清净自制）、真实、慈悲、坚忍与宽恕。此等乃永恒之法的永恒根本。传闻在远古，毗湿瓦密多罗等诸王正因这些德行而得成就。”

Educational Q&A
Dharma is presented as a practical spiritual discipline (mahāyoga) grounded in specific virtues: generosity, compassion to all beings, self-restraint (brahmacarya), truthfulness, mercy, steadfast resolve, and forgiveness. These are described as the timeless foundations of righteous life.
Vaiśampāyana, in the Ashvamedhika Parva context, summarizes the ethical essentials that constitute true dharma and yogic attainment, reinforcing them by citing traditional memory that earlier royal figures—such as Viśvāmitra—reached success/siddhi through these virtues.
