Satya

Sanskrit for “true,” “good,” or “real,” derived from the root as which, in the infinitive, is the verb “to be.” It is often used merely to assent to a statement made by someone else. It appears (in ablative declension) as the first word in the motto of The Theosophical Society (TS), saty€n n€sti paro dharmaƒ, translated “There is no religion (literally dharma) higher than truth.”
