Shloka 23
अत्रेः तपोबलप्रकाशः तथा च्यवनस्य सोमाधिकारः
Atri’s Illumination by Tapas; Cyavana and Soma-Entitlement
शूद्रस्य तु कुलं हन्ति वैश्यस्य पशुबान्धवान् । क्षत्रियस्य श्रियं हन्ति ब्राह्मणस्य सुवर्चसम्,ब्राह्णणफा तेज उसके साथ भोजन करनेवाले शूद्रके कुलका, वैश्यके पशु और बान्धवोंका तथा क्षत्रियकी सम्पत्तिका नाश कर डालता है
śūdrasya tu kulaṃ hanti vaiśyasya paśu-bāndhavān | kṣatriyasya śriyaṃ hanti brāhmaṇasya suvarcasam ||
Bhīṣma erklärt, dass die moralischen und sozialen Folgen ungehörigen Handelns—besonders der Verfehlung beim Essen und im Umgang, die Dharma und Reinheit verletzt—je nach Stand verschieden treffen: Sie vernichten die Familienlinie eines Śūdra, das Vieh und die Verwandtschaftsbindungen eines Vaiśya, den Wohlstand eines Kṣatriya und die geistige Ausstrahlung samt gutem Ruf eines Brāhmaṇa.
भीष्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
That violations of dharmic discipline—especially regarding food and association—are believed to bring ruin, and the form of ruin is described as differing by social role: lineage for a Śūdra, cattle and kin for a Vaiśya, prosperity for a Kṣatriya, and spiritual radiance/reputation for a Brāhmaṇa.
In the Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma is instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma. Here he states a rule-like consequence statement, warning that improper practices connected with eating/impurity lead to specific kinds of loss for different varṇas.
