English Meaning
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,
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
