paro hyadharmo naivāsti saṃdeho nāpi jāyate | kṛtasya tu phalaṃ tatra pratyakṣamupalabhyate || 6 ||

FAQs

It stresses moral clarity: certain forms of adharma are self-evidently harmful because their karmic results become directly perceivable, reinforcing accountability on the path of moksha-dharma.

By contrasting dharma with adharma and highlighting visible consequences, it encourages a sattvic life that supports Vishnu-bhakti—purity of conduct stabilizes the mind for devotion and remembrance.

Primarily dharma-niti rather than a specific Vedanga: it functions as a practical rule of conduct—evaluate actions by their observable fruits (pratyaksha phala) and avoid adharma that immediately degrades character and peace.
