It is Dharma or virtue that thwarts the enemies. It is virtue that governs the subjects duly. It is for this that virtue is called Dhārana or the holder. The virtue of preservation is the greatest and confers fruits in alter life. There is nothing like virtue hard to acquire in this world,
धारणाद्विद्विषां चैत्र धर्मेणारझ्-यन्प्रजाः। यस्माद्धारणमित्युक्तं स धर्म इति निश्चयः॥ एष राजन्परो धर्मः फलवाओत्य राघव। नहि धर्माद्भवेत्किंचिहुष्प्रापमिति मे मतिः॥
