Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
धर्म च मत्तो गृह्नीष्व सात्वतं नाम नामत: । तेन सृष्टं कृतयुगं स्थापयस्व यथाविधि
dharmaṃ ca matto gṛhṇīṣva sātvatam nāma nāmataḥ | tena sṛṣṭaṃ kṛtayugaṃ sthāpayasva yathāvidhi ||
毗湿摩波耶那说：“你当从我受持名为‘萨特瓦塔’（Sātvata）之法。凭此法，依所敕令生起克利多纪（Kṛta，即萨提亚纪 Satya-yuga），并按正法之式加以建立。”

Educational Q&A
Dharma is presented as a transmissible, named discipline (‘Sātvata’) whose proper acceptance and practice enables the restoration and firm establishment of the highest moral age, the Kṛta/Satya Yuga—i.e., social and cosmic order must be founded on rightly received and correctly enacted dharma.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana reports an instruction in which a teacher/authority figure directs the addressee to accept a specific dharma called ‘Sātvata’ and, by following it according to prescribed rules, to ‘create’ and ‘establish’ the Kṛta (Satya) Yuga—framing ethical governance as the means to renew an age of truth.
