Etymology · व्युत्पत्ति

धर्मात्मन् = हलन्त-लोप → धर्मात्मन

The form धर्मात्मन् is written with a final halant (the grammatical/citation spelling); as a borne name the final halant is dropped (धर्मात्मन), and the English form takes no trailing schwa.

    क्षिप्रं भवति धर्मात्मा शश्वच्छान्तिं निगच्छति । कौन्तेय प्रतिजानीहि न मे भक्तः प्रणश्यति ॥

    kṣipraṁ bhavati dharmātmā śaśvacchāntiṁ nigacchati | kaunteya pratijānīhi na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati ||

    Such a person soon becomes good at heart and finds lasting peace. Arjuna (called Kaunteya, son of Kuntī), know this for certain: my devotee is never lost.
