Shloka 131
Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
परस्वहरणे दोषा: सर्व एव प्रकीर्तिता: । एतद्धि लेशमात्रेण कथितं ते मयानघ
Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | parasvaharaṇe doṣāḥ sarva eva prakīrtitāḥ | etaddhi leśamātreṇa kathitaṃ te mayānagha niṣpāpa nareśa |
অন্যের ধন হরণ করলে যে যে দোষ জন্মায়, সেগুলি সবই বলা হয়েছে। হে নিষ্পাপ রাজন! আমি তোমাকে এ বিষয়টি কেবল সংক্ষেপে—মাত্র ইঙ্গিতরূপে—জানালাম।

Educational Q&A
Taking another’s wealth is ethically blameworthy; the text frames it as a source of multiple doṣas (moral faults). Yudhiṣṭhira emphasizes that these faults have been stated, even if only in brief here.
Yudhiṣṭhira concludes a didactic explanation addressed to a king, stating that he has already enumerated the faults connected with appropriating another’s property and that his present statement is only a concise summary.
