Ṛta: The Principle of Cosmic Order

Ṛta: The Principle of Cosmic Order
ऋतम् (Ṛtam) is one of the central concepts of the Ṛgvedic
vision of reality. It refers broadly to the principle of order, rightness,
truth, and proper functioning through which the cosmos and its constituent
processes operate.
The word is traditionally connected with the Sanskrit verbal
root √ऋ, whose semantic range includes movement, proceeding, and
following a course. The precise translation of Ṛta is difficult because
its meaning varies according to context. It has consequently been rendered as cosmic
order, orderliness, natural law, sacred order, truth, rightness, and righteousness.
None of these translations completely exhausts its meaning.
What remains consistent, however, is the idea of an underlying order according to which things proceed as they ought to proceed.
