राजवृत्त-रक्षा-प्रणिधि-षाड्गुण्योपदेशः
Royal Conduct, Protection, Intelligence, and Policy Measures
धर्ममेव प्रपद्यन्ते न हिंसन्ति परस्परम् । अनुगृह्नन्ति चान्योन्यं यदा रक्षति भूमिप:,जब राजा रक्षा करता है, तब सब लोग धर्मका ही पालन करते हैं, कोई किसीकी हिंसा नहीं करते और सभी एक-दूसरेपर अनुग्रह रखते हैं
dharmam eva prapadyante na hiṃsanti parasparam | anugṛhṇanti cānyonyaṃ yadā rakṣati bhūmipaḥ ||
当国王真正护持其国土时，百姓便自然归依达摩：彼此不相侵害，且互施恩惠、相扶相助。此偈将公共德行视为公正而警醒的王政所结的直接果实。

Educational Q&A
Public virtue is sustained by righteous governance: when the king provides real protection and order, people adhere to dharma, refrain from mutual violence, and cultivate mutual goodwill.
In the Shanti Parva’s discourse on rajadharma, Vasumanā states a principle of statecraft: the ruler’s protective duty is the condition that enables citizens to live ethically and peacefully with one another.
