Law
Unlike several other Language Packages in this pipeline, Telugu’s own established Bible tradition already renders ‘the Law’ (Torah) as ధర్మశాస్త్రము without significant syncretism alarm — Telugu ధర్మం carries less caste-cosmic-duty weight in everyday register than the corresponding word does further north, and the rendering is over a century old and deeply settled. Do not ‘fix’ this to a novel niyama-based compound; that would break established usage for no doctrinal gain.
