Significance of Dharmamurti
Dharmamurti, as described in the Purana, has two notable interpretations. Firstly, it refers to a king who befriended Indra and was renowned for his ability to defeat countless demons, with his brilliance surpassing that of the Sun and the Moon. Secondly, it denotes embodiments of righteousness among the Pitris, those who have achieved significant spiritual merit and engage in righteous practices. Both aspects of Dharmamurti emphasize strength and moral integrity.
