लोकद्वयेऽपि यत्सौख्यं तद्धर्मात्प्रोच्यते यतः । धर्ममेकमतः कुर्यात्सर्वकार्यार्थसिद्धये
lokadvaye'pi yatsaukhyaṃ taddharmātprocyate yataḥ | dharmamekamataḥ kuryātsarvakāryārthasiddhaye
دونوں جہانوں میں جو بھی سعادت و خوشی ہے، وہ دھرم ہی سے پیدا ہوتی ہے۔ اس لیے ہر مقصد اور ہر کام کی تکمیل کے لیے صرف دھرم کا ہی آچرن کرنا چاہیے۔

Dharma is presented as the single foundation for well-being in both worldly life and the afterlife, and as the means to fulfill legitimate aims.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse offers a universal principle of purāṇic dharma.
No specific ritual is prescribed; it broadly enjoins steadfast practice of dharma.
