20. Indra said: "If you were to live without an army and dedicate yourself to a path beyond (royal) `dharma` (adharma), then, being vigilant, you would attain the supreme state. However, the warrior's (dharma) [constitution] truly originated from the Primeval Deity, and subsequently, other (dharma) [constitutions] are merely subservient to it."
