tān pratyūcuḥ prahasyedaṁ

Śukadeva said: When the servants of Yama had thus spoken, the servants of Viṣṇu replied to them while smiling, with voices like rumbling clouds.

They smiled. “You do not know dharma. Because of fear of us, you say you are the servants of Yama, but you are merely a type of preta. Having come into our hands, how will you live now?”

 

|| 6.1.38 ||

śrī-viṣṇudūtā ūcuḥ

yūyaṁ vai dharma-rājasya

yadi nirdeśa-kāriṇaḥ

brūta dharmasya nas tattvaṁ

yac cādharmasya lakṣaṇam

The servants of Viṣṇu said: If you are really servants of Yama, tell us the nature of dharma and the characteristics of adharma.

“We are the servants of Yama. Who does not recognize us?” The messengers of Viṣṇu then speak. Nirddeśaḥ and nirdeṣaḥ have the same meaning. Tell us the nature or essence (tattvam) of dharma and the measurement (lakṣaṇam) of dharma and the nature and measurement of adharma.

|| 6.1.39 ||

kathaṁ svid dhriyate daṇḍaḥ

kiṁ vāsya sthānam īpsitam

daṇḍyāḥ kiṁ kāriṇaḥ sarve

āho svit katicin nṛṇām

How is punishment administered? What is the reason for punishment? Who is punished? Is everyone punished including animals, or among men, are only some punished? 

They ask about the method of punishment, the reasons for punishment, the persons who are punished, and the scope of punishment. Does punishment occur for animals or only for some among humans?

|| 6.1.40 ||

yamadūtā ūcuḥ

veda-praṇihito dharmo

hy adharmas tad-viparyayaḥ

vedo nārāyaṇaḥ sākṣāt

svayambhūr iti śuśruma

The Yamadūtas replied: Acts which are prescribed in the Vedas constitute dharma, and acts which are not prescribed by the Vedas are adharma. The Vedas are directly Nārāyaṇa and are born from him. This we have heard from Yamarāja.

Dharma is what is prescribed in the Vedas. What is in the Vedas is the nature of dharma (tattva) and the rules of the Vedas are the measurement of dharma. Because the servants of Viṣṇu asked about adharma, the servants of Yama describe the nature and measurement of adharma. This also covers the question about the reasons for punishment. What is forbidden in the Vedas is adharma. Doing what is forbidden in the Vedas is the measure of adharma. The Vedas are manifested from the Lord (svayambhūḥ): they arise from the breathing of Viṣṇu on their own. Śruti says asya mahato bhūtasya niśvasitam etad yad ṛgvedaḥ: the breathing of the Lord is the Ṛg-veda.  (Bṛhad-ārāṇyaka Upaniṣad)
