Reply to comment by quidpropron in The way of dharma | how ancient stories of talking elephants and singing birds encourage a life of truth, nonviolence and compassion by ADefiniteDescription

Thanks for actually posting the definition, I was lazy.

The paragraph also highlights another interesting facet of Vedic religion. Ṛta has sacrifice as an input, and the sacrificial order is a microcosm of the universe. You can track the evolution of dharma alongside the change from ritual to more philosophical thought in the late Vedic era.
