Sarvagā hy eva rājendra sarvaṁ vyāpya carācaram |

Vaiśampāyana said: “O King, Dharma indeed moves everywhere; pervading the entire moving and unmoving universe, it stands present in all. It is truly perceived only by the gods of gods and by perfected beings whose impurities have been completely washed away—those freed from sin can directly realize Dharma’s all-pervading course.”

Educational Q&A
Dharma is not merely a social rule but an all-pervading moral-cosmic principle; its true nature is directly apprehended only by those who are spiritually purified—free from the stains of wrongdoing and inner impurity.
Vaiśampāyana addresses the king (Janamejaya) and explains the pervasive presence of Dharma throughout all existence, emphasizing that only exalted divine beings and purified siddhas can fully perceive it.
