Shloka 34
Nārada’s Darśana of Viśvarūpa Nārāyaṇa and the Caturmūrti Doctrine (नारदस्य नारायणदर्शनं चतुर्मूर्तिविचारश्च)
यदा भावं न कुरुते सर्वभूतेषु पापकम् । कर्मणा मनसा वाचा ब्रह्म सम्पद्यते तदा
yadā bhāvaṃ na kurute sarvabhūteṣu pāpakam | karmaṇā manasā vācā brahma sampadyate tadā ||
Quand un homme ne fait naître aucune intention fautive envers aucun être vivant—par l’acte, par la pensée ou par la parole—et se trouve délivré de la haine envers toutes les créatures, alors il atteint l’état de Brahman.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that spiritual realization is grounded in universal non-malice: when one harbors no sinful or harmful intention toward any being in thought, word, or deed, one becomes fit for and attains Brahman-realization.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, King Janaka speaks as a teacher, stating a criterion for attaining the highest state: complete freedom from hateful or sinful disposition toward all beings across the three channels of conduct—action, speech, and mind.
