जपयोगयोः तुल्यफलनिर्णयः
Adhyāya 193: Adjudication of the Comparable Fruits of Japa and Yoga
न लोभ: परदारेषु स्वदारनिरतो जन: । नान्योन्यं बध्यते तत्र द्रव्येषु च न विस्मय: । परो ह्ुधर्मो नैवास्ति संदेहो नापि जायते,वहाँ किसीके मनमें परायी स्त्रियोंके प्रति लोभ नहीं होता। सब लोग अपनी ही स्त्रियोंमें अनुरक्त रहते हैं। वहाँके निवासी धनके लिये एक दूसरेका वध नहीं करते। किसीको बन्धनमें नहीं डालते। उन्हें कभी महान् विस्मय नहीं होता। अधर्मका तो वहाँ नाम भी नहीं है। वहाँ किसीके मनमें संदेह नहीं पैदा होता है
bharadvāja uvāca | na lobhaḥ paradāreṣu svadāra-nirato janaḥ | nānyonyaṃ badhyate tatra dravyeṣu ca na vismayaḥ | paro hy adharmo naivāsti saṃdeho nāpi jāyate |
Bharadvāja said: In that realm there is no lust for another’s wife; people remain devoted to their own spouses. For the sake of wealth they do not kill one another, nor do they bind anyone in captivity. They are not shaken by extraordinary astonishment, for wrongdoing has no place there at all. Doubt, too, does not arise in anyone’s mind—such is the settled order of dharma there.

Educational Q&A
The verse describes an ideal dharmic society: fidelity in relationships, absence of greed-driven violence, no oppression through captivity, and a mental culture free from suspicion and moral transgression.
Bharadvāja is portraying the ethical condition of a particular realm or community, emphasizing how social harmony arises when desire, greed, and adharma are absent and people remain steady in rightful conduct.
