Educational Q&A
Dharma is presented as something that manifests within cosmic cycles and is preserved through listening and transmission; the narrator emphasizes attentive hearing as the gateway to understanding the origin and authority of dharma.
Vaiśampāyana signals a new explanatory section: he will describe how dharma arose at a particular cosmic moment—when Brahmā’s creation, described as ‘born of hearing,’ occurred again (specified here as the fourth time).
