धर्मादर्थः प्रभवति धर्मात् प्रभवते सुखं।
धर्मेण लभते सर्वं धर्मसारमिदं जगत् ॥
Dharmaadarthah prabhavati dharmaat prabhavate sukham
Dharmena labhate sarvam dharmasaaramidam jagat
3.9.30
आत्मानं नियमैः तैस्तैः कर्शयित्वा प्रयत्नतः ।
प्राप्यते निपुणैर्धर्मो न सुखात् लभते सुखम् ॥
Aatmaanam niyamaih taistaih karshayitwaa prayatnatah
Praapyate nipunair dharmo na sukhaat labhate sukham
3.9.31
Wealth springs from dharma, from dharma comes happiness and one gets everything from dharma. Dharma is the essence of this world.
Dharma, which is the source of all happiness, can be attained even by a skilled person, only after observing various disciplines for his own purification and after great effort subjecting himself to great strain and stress. One cannot attain such dharma by leading a life given to the pleasures of the senses.
[Context: Sita apprehands that Rama, armed always, as he is, with his bow and arrows, may tend to hurt animals in the forest or hurt those rakshasas from whom there is no threat. She emphasises the importance of ahimsa and other virtues and requests Rama to be compassionate, kind and merciful.]
