Description of Brahmā’s Assembly and the Eminence of Hariścandra
धर्मचक्रं तथा चापि नित्यमास्ते युधिष्ठिर । साठ संवत्सर
dharmacakraṃ tathā cāpi nityam āste yudhiṣṭhira | ṣaṣṭi-saṃvatsaraḥ pañca-saṃvatsarāṇāṃ yugaṃ caturvidhaṃ dina-rātraṃ (mānuṣa-pitṛ-deva-brahma-dina-rātrāṇi) nityaṃ divyam akṣayam avyayaṃ kālacakraṃ ca dharmacakraṃ ca dehaṃ dhṛtvā sadā brahma-sabhāyāṃ samupasthitam iti |
那罗陀说道：“尤提士提罗啊，法轮恒常在彼处。与之同在的，还有时间的度量也化为形体而立：六十年之轮、五年之纪（yuga），以及四类昼夜（人间、祖灵界、天界与梵天之昼夜）。那永恒、神圣、不坏、不衰的时轮，与法轮一同取形，常住于梵天的会堂之中。”

Educational Q&A
Dharma and Time are portrayed as cosmic, objective principles—so fundamental that they are imagined as embodied presences in Brahmā’s court. The ethical implication is that righteous rule aligns with an enduring moral order, not merely personal preference or political convenience.
Nārada is describing the marvels and constituents of Brahmā’s assembly. He lists not only beings but also abstract cosmic regulators—calendrical cycles and the Wheels of Time and Dharma—depicting them as ever-present attendants in the divine court.
