Vaiśampāyana uvāca |
Sarvagā hy eva rājendra sarvaṁ vyāpya carācaram |
Dṛśyate devadevaiḥ sa siddhair nirmuktakalmaṣaiḥ ||
Waiśampāyana berkata: “Wahai Raja, Dharma sungguh bergerak di mana-mana; meliputi seluruh jagat yang bergerak dan tak bergerak, ia hadir di segala tempat. Namun Dharma itu benar-benar dipandang hanya oleh para dewa di atas para dewa dan oleh para siddha yang telah bersih sepenuhnya dari noda—mereka yang bebas dari dosa dapat menyaksikan langsung gerak Dharma yang meresapi segalanya.”

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.
