Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 133
Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
सुरषषीरणां श्रुतं मध्ये पृष्टभश्नापि यथातथम् । मयापि तच्च कार्त्स्न्येन यथावदनुवर्णितम् । एतच्छुत्वा महाराज धर्मे कुरुमनः सदा
Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca: Suraṛṣīṇāṃ śrutaṃ madhye pṛṣṭaḥ praśnān api yathātatham | mayāpi tac ca kārtsnyena yathāvad anuvarṇitam || etac chrutvā mahārāja dharme kuru-manaḥ sadā, bharata-nandana |
ユディシュティラは言った。「神々の聖仙（リシ）たちのただ中で、私はこの物語を聞いた。そして汝の問いには、問われたとおりに答えた。さらに私は、その全てを余すところなく、正しい順序で語り尽くした。これを聞いたなら、大王よ、バーラタ族の誉れよ、常に心をダルマ（法）に定めよ。」

Educational Q&A
The core teaching is fidelity to dharma: the listener (the king addressed as Bharatanandana) should keep the mind steadily devoted to righteousness, taking the teaching as an authoritative transmission rather than a personal invention.
Yudhiṣṭhira concludes a doctrinal explanation by stating that he heard it among divine seers and has now accurately and completely recounted it in response to the king’s questions, urging the king to remain committed to dharma.
