Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines dharma in the Bhagavad Gītā. The Bhagavad Gītā makes a number of philosophical points, and no one would deny that it also deserves a reputation as a text about dharma. Yet it really says only a few things about dharma per se. Most of its prominent references to dharma occur in what will be called an informal ring structure: not a formal ring of the type appreciated by folklorists, where a text exhibits a self-conscious geometry of units and themes converging on a central nugget, but one that allows the Gītā to be also about other things to which dharma is kept pertinent through deepening reminders of its relevance.
