Indeed, dharma is the key to understanding the whole of Hindu culture, past and present. ... This protean word ... is a development of the earlier Ṛg-Vedic idea of ṛta which ... represented cosmic law operating in all phenomena – natural, religious, and moral. It provided the Vedic seers with the ethical norm by which men could relate to nature, to one another, and to the gods. In the smṛti period this law permeating the whole universe was called dharma.''
