Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah

Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah (Sanskrit: धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः; IAST: dharmo rakṣati rakṣitaḥ) is a popular Sanskrit phrase mentioned in the Mahabharata and Manusmriti verse 8.15. It can be loosely translated as "Dharma protects those who protect it". The closest synonyms for Dharma in English are righteousness and ethics. It is the motto of the Research and Analysis Wing, National Law School of India University and the Hindutva organisation Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
