मयूरवद्राजधर्मः (Mayūra-vat Rāja-dharma) — The Peacock-Model of Protective Kingship
अनुरूपाणि कर्माणि भृत्येभ्यो य: प्रयच्छति । स भृत्यगुणसम्पन्नो राजा फलमुपाश्रुते,जो राजा अपने सेवकोंको उनकी योग्यताके अनुरूप कार्य सौंपता है, वह भृत्यके गुणोंसे सम्पन्न हो उत्तम फलका भागी होता है
anurūpāṇi karmāṇi bhṛtyebhyo yaḥ prayacchati | sa bhṛtya-guṇa-sampanno rājā phalam upāśrute ||
毗湿摩说道：国王若依臣仆之才分与位分而授其职，便具足善用臣属之德；由此政令有序，终得上佳之果。其义在于：治国之正道，在于以责配才，使忠诚、效率与法（dharma）得以维系于国中。

Educational Q&A
A ruler should allocate responsibilities according to each servant’s suitability and competence; such fitting assignment strengthens service-virtues (guṇa) in the administration and yields the best outcomes (phala) for the king and the kingdom.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on rāja-dharma, Bhishma is advising the king on practical governance: effective rule depends on discerning people’s capacities and entrusting them with appropriate duties.
