Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
पुत्रस्य मातापितरौ यस्य रुष्टात्रुभावपि । गुर्वपध्यानत: सो5पि मृतो जायति गर्दभ:,जिस पुत्रके ऊपर माता और पिता दोनों ही रष्ट होते हैं, वह गुरुजनोंके अनिष्टचिन्तनके कारण मृत्युके बाद गदहा होता है
putrasya mātāpitarau yasya ruṣṭau dhruvabhāvau api | gurv-apadhyānataḥ so 'pi mṛto jāyati gardabhaḥ ||
ユディシュティラは言った。「たとえ父母がその子に対して固く怒りを抱いていても、尊ぶべき長老たちの悪しき念（害意）ゆえに、その子は死後、驢馬として生まれ変わる。」この段は、父母や年長者の不興を買い、彼らの呪詛や害意の的となることが、いかに重い倫理的帰結を招くかを示している。
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that disrespecting or grievously offending one’s parents and venerable elders is a serious breach of dharma, and that becoming the target of their ill-wishing (apadhyāna) can lead to painful karmic consequences, symbolized here by rebirth as a donkey.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction on righteous conduct, Yudhiṣṭhira voices a moral maxim linking familial and elder relationships to karmic outcomes: a son who incurs the settled anger of mother and father, along with elders’ hostile intent, is said to meet an ignoble rebirth.
