Dama-pradhāna-dharma (Self-restraint as the Root of Dharma) — Śānti-parva 154
Devanagari script
यथाकृता च भूतेषु प्राप्पते सुखदु:खिता । गृहीत्वा जायते जन्तुर्दु:खानि च सुखानि च
Transliteration
yathākṛtā ca bhūteṣu prāpyate sukhaduḥkhitā | gṛhītvā jāyate jantur duḥkhāni ca sukhāni ca ||
Translation
ભીષ્મે કહ્યું—જેમ કોઈ જીવજંતુઓ પ્રત્યે વર્તે છે, તેમ જ તેને સુખ કે દુઃખની સ્થિતિ પ્રાપ્ત થાય છે. જીવ પોતાના કર્મફળને લઈને જ જન્મે છે; તેથી તે દુઃખ અને સુખ બન્ને ભોગવે છે.
