Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 60
मानसं सर्वभूतानां धर्ममाहुर्मनीषिण: । तस्मात् सर्वाणि भूतानि धर्ममेव समासते,मनीषी पुरुष धर्मको समस्त प्राणियोंका हृदय कहते हैं। अतः समस्त प्राणियोंको धर्मका ही आश्रय लेना चाहिये
mānasaṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ dharmam āhur manīṣiṇaḥ | tasmāt sarvāṇi bhūtāni dharmam eva samāśrate ||
毗湿摩说道：智者宣称，法（dharma）乃一切众生之心与内在核心。因此，万类应唯依归于法——以法为思惟、抉择与行持之根基。

Educational Q&A
Dharma is presented not merely as external rule but as the inner principle shaping the mind and intentions of all beings; hence one should rely on dharma as the primary guide for thought and action.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma continues his instruction on righteous conduct, emphasizing to his listener(s) that dharma is the fundamental inner support for all living beings and should be taken as one’s refuge.
