Shloka 128
Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
असंवासा: प्रजायन्ते म्लेच्छाश्वापि न संशय: । नरा: पापसमाचारा लोभमोहसमन्विता:
asaṁvāsāḥ prajāyante mlecchāś cāpi na saṁśayaḥ | narāḥ pāpasamācārā lobhamohasamanvitāḥ ||
Dari orang yang berperilaku dosa, digerakkan oleh kerakusan dan delusi, lahir keturunan yang tanpa tempat menetap dan tanpa sandaran tatanan sosial yang semestinya; mereka pun jatuh menjadi mleccha—tanpa keraguan.
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Sinful conduct driven by greed (lobha) and delusion (moha) leads to social and moral degradation; such people lose stable belonging and fall outside the disciplined dharmic order.
Yudhiṣṭhira is speaking in a didactic context, describing the consequences of immoral behavior: it produces unsettled, degraded modes of life and a fall from dharmic social norms.
