Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
परदाराभिमर्श तु कृत्वा जायति वै वृकः । श्वा शृुगालस्ततो गृध्रो व्याल: कड़को बकस्तथा,परस्त्रीगमनका पाप करके मनुष्य क्रमशः भेड़िया, कुत्ता, सियार, गीध, साँप, कंक और बगुला होता है
paradārābhimarśaṁ tu kṛtvā jāyati vai vṛkaḥ | śvā śṛgālas tato gṛdhro vyālaḥ kaṅko bakas tathā ||
ユディシュティラは言った。「他人の妻を犯す者は狼として生まれ、さらに(次々の生において)犬、ついで山犬(ジャッカル)、ついで禿鷲、ついで蛇、ついで kaṅka(鷺の類)、そして同じく鶴として生まれる。」
युधिछिर उवाच
Adultery—approaching or violating another man’s wife—is presented as a serious adharma that leads to degrading karmic results, symbolized by successive rebirths in lower, predatory or impure animal forms.
Within the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction on dharma and conduct, Yudhiṣṭhira states a moral consequence: the adulterer is said to be reborn as various animals (wolf, dog, jackal, vulture, serpent, heron, crane), underscoring the gravity of the offense.
