The word is also⁴ found in the sense of ‘ordinance,’ ‘law,’ expressing much the same as Dharman, especially in conjunction⁵ with Rta, ‘eternal order.’ Hillebrandt⁶ sees in one passage⁷ the sense of Nakṣatra. - [Previous: v1.c3.s19.148](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s19.148) - [Next: v1.c3.s19.150](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s19.150) - [Up: v1.c3.s19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s19.149](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s19.149) · Pramāṇa
