Pratyakṣa–Āgama–Ācāra: Doubt, Proof, and the Practice of Dharma (प्रत्यक्ष–आगम–आचारविचारः)
चारों वेदोंमें निष्णात होना और सब जीवोंके प्रति सरलताका बर्ताव करना--ये दोनों एक समान समझे जाते हैं अथवा सरलताका ही महत्त्व अधिक माना जाता है ।।
ārjavaṃ dharmam ity āhur adharmaḥ jihma ucyate | ārjaveneha saṃyukto naro dharmeṇa yujyate ||
大天教示：端直即名为“法”（Dharma），而乖曲狡诈则称为“非法”（Adharma）。在此世间，唯有与真诚、朴素之行相应的人，才真正与正法齐一，堪受其果。就伦理分量而言，这种内在的正直被视为与——甚至高于——仅仅通晓四部吠陀。

Educational Q&A
Dharma is identified with ārjava—straightforward, honest, non-deceptive conduct—whereas crookedness (jihmatā) is adharma. Ethical integrity is presented as a decisive marker of righteousness, even outweighing mere scholarly attainment.
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing the listener within the Anuśāsana Parva’s didactic setting, defining dharma through character and behavior: the truly dhārmic person is one who lives with simplicity and sincerity and thereby becomes entitled to dharma’s results.
