अथ धर्मः समायातः स्वरूपेण च वै तदा । ब्रह्मचर्यादिभिर्युक्तस्तपोभिश्च स बुद्धिमान्

Kemudian pada waktu itu Dharma datang ke sana dalam rupa sejatinya. Ia lengkap dengan brahmacarya dan disiplin-disiplin lain, serta tapa; ia seorang yang bijaksana.
Narrator (contextual; specific dialogue speaker not stated in the provided excerpt)
Concept: Dharma is not merely a rule-set but a living principle that manifests through brahmacarya, tapas, and discerning wisdom.
Application: Treat ethical discipline as a positive presence: cultivate one concrete vow (speech-restraint, celibacy/continence, or daily japa) so that ‘Dharma arrives’ in conduct, not theory.

FAQs
Here ‘Dharma’ is presented as a personified principle—righteousness itself appearing in embodied form, characterized by vows, self-restraint, and austerity.
Brahmacarya indicates disciplined self-restraint (often celibacy and regulated conduct), while tapas denotes austerity and spiritual effort—together marking the qualities that sustain and manifest Dharma.
It frames righteousness as inseparable from inner discipline: Dharma is shown as ‘wise’ and ‘in true form’ when supported by restraint, vows, and sustained spiritual practice.
