Pratyakṣa–Āgama–Ācāra: Doubt, Proof, and the Practice of Dharma (प्रत्यक्ष–आगम–आचारविचारः)
सर्वभूतेषु यः सम्यग् ददात्यभयदक्षिणाम् । हिंसादोषविमुक्तात्मा स वै धर्मेण युज्यते,जो हिंसादोषसे मुक्त होकर सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंको अभयदान कर देता है, उसीको धर्मका फल प्राप्त होता है
sarvabhūteṣu yaḥ samyag dadāty abhayadakṣiṇām | hiṁsādoṣavimuktātmā sa vai dharmeṇa yujyate ||
Maheshvara said: “Whoever, in the right manner, grants the ‘gift of fearlessness’ to all beings—being inwardly freed from the fault of violence—such a person is truly joined to Dharma and attains its fruit.”
