(Skt., ‘fixed order, rule’). In Hinduism, the sense of fundamental order and balance which obtains in the universe and must be observed and sustained through appropriate sacrifices, rituals, and behaviours.
ta as a word is related to
tu
, the seasons, which recur with regularity out of the control of humans—or for that matter, of gods.
Mitra
and
Varu
a
are invoked in the
Vedas
as guardians of
ta, but they are never regarded or described as its creator or controller.
ta is deeper and more fundamental than the gods, and anticipates the impersonal law of
karma
, and the pervasive rule of
dharma
.
