Transliteration

ūrbhānuśca tathā dharmaṃ dharmaḥ satyaṃ hyṛta tathā | dharmaṃ ye dharmavaddharme dharme vai nidhanaṃ gatāḥ

Translation

“Ūrbhānu”—demikian pula “Dharma”; dan Dharma adalah kebenaran, sungguh, serta Ṛta, tatanan kosmis. Mereka yang teguh dalam dharma, hidup menurut dharma, dan bahkan wafat dalam dharma—mencapai kepenuhan yang lahir dari dharma.

The broader Prabhāsa-kṣetra setting frames the teaching on dharma and sacred recitation.

No external rite is detailed here; the verse emphasizes the ethical prerequisite—steadfastness in dharma—for the japa’s highest fruit.
