Shloka 106
कालयुक्तधर्मविवेकः
Discerning Dharma in Accord with Time
धर्मलब्धान्नभोक्तारस्ते नरा: स्वर्गगामिन: । जो दूसरोंके धनपर ममता नहीं रखते, परायी स्त्रीसे सदा दूर रहते और धर्मके द्वारा प्राप्त किये अन्नका ही भोजन करते हैं, वे मनुष्य स्वर्गलोकमें जाते हैं
dharmalabdhānna-bhoktāras te narāḥ svargagāminaḥ |
Mahādeva declares that those people who sustain themselves only on food obtained through righteous means are destined for heaven. In ethical terms, the verse upholds livelihood by dharma—free from coveting others’ wealth and from illicit relations—as a direct cause of spiritual uplift and a higher posthumous state.

Educational Q&A
One should live on sustenance gained through dharma—without coveting others’ property and without immoral sexual conduct; such disciplined, righteous living leads to svarga.
Śrīmahēśvara is giving a moral instruction within Anuśāsana Parva, stating the spiritual result (going to heaven) for those who eat only what is righteously obtained.
