These quotations make us understand the greatness of Vedas. To know Dharma and the principles of Dharma, we must refer to certain specific texts or books. We call such books as \u201cDharma-pramana\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPramana\u201d means that which establishes the truth. So \u201cDharma-pramana\u201d means that which gives one the true knowledge of Dharma. These are the sacred texts that speak about true Dharma.<\/span><\/p>\n
