we'll see a few loanwords from Sanskrit -- words from this ancient Indian language that are now part of English.
dharma (DHAR-muh) noun
1. Duty; right behavior.
2. Law, especially the eternal law of the cosmos.
3. Religion.
[From Sanskrit dharma (law, custom, duty). Ultimately from Indo-European root dher- (to hold firmly or support) that is also the source of firm, affirm, confirm, farm, fermata, and firmament.]
