The Sanskrit term dharma, from which dhārmika is derived, here denotes the “proper” or “customary” way of doing things. For example, Kalyāṇamitra explains that a “proper” recitation of The Prātimokṣa Sūtra involves reciting the correct text in the prescribed way on the appropriate days. See Kalyāṇamitra (F.315.b).
