Shloka 11
कामबन्धन-निवृत्ति तथा शान्तिलक्षण-उपदेशः | Release from Desire-Bondage and the Marks of Peace
संविभागोअत्र भूतानां सर्वेषामेव शिष्यते । तथैवापचमाने भ्य: प्रदेयं गृहमेधिना
saṁvibhāgo 'tra bhūtānāṁ sarveṣām eva śiṣyate | tathaivāpacamānebhyaḥ pradeyaṁ gṛhamedhinā ||
قال فياسا: «هنا يُعلَّم المبدأ القائل إن جميع الكائنات الحية ينبغي أن تُعطى نصيبها المستحق. وكذلك ربّ البيت الذي يحفظ نار البيت المقدسة عليه أن يعطي الطعام أيضًا لمن يطبخون ويكدحون، كي لا يُترك أحدٌ ممن يسهمون في قوام المعيشة بلا حصته.»

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches saṁvibhāga—fair sharing—as a dharmic rule: a householder should ensure that all beings (and specifically those engaged in preparing food) receive an appropriate portion, reflecting responsibility and generosity in domestic life.
In the didactic setting of Śānti Parva, Vyāsa states a normative rule for household conduct: distribution of food and resources is to be done conscientiously, and the gṛhastha must give to those involved in cooking and sustaining the household.
