Ṛta is identified with :

  • A.Satya
  • B.Dharma
  • C.Both satya and dharma
  • D.Neither satya nor dharma

Answer: C

Ṛta is identified with both satya and dharma.

In the Ṛgveda, ṛta is the cosmic and moral order that governs the course of nature, the sacrifice and right conduct. It is constantly paired with satya, truth (one hymn, Ṛgveda 10.190, opens with ṛta and satya born from tapas), and in later thought its role as the moral and social order passes to the concept of dharma. Standard accounts of Indian ethics therefore treat ṛta as the forerunner of both.

Choosing only one of the two leaves out half of this identification, and 'neither' denies it.
