धर्मात्मन / धर्मात्मा
Dharmaatman / Dharmaatmaa
Dharmātman / Dharmātmā · IAST
One whose very soul is righteous.
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.
Scripture references
Bhagavad Gītā · 9.31
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.
