Shloka 10
मांसभक्षण-दोषाः तथा अहिंसाया माहात्म्यम् | Faults of Meat-Consumption and the Supremacy of Ahiṃsā
यथा पर: प्रक्रमते परेषु तथापरे प्रक्रमन्ते परस्मिन् । तथैव ते<स्तूपमा जीवलोके यथा धर्मो नैपुणेनोपदिष्ट:
yathā paraḥ prakramate pareṣu tathāpare prakramante parasmin | tathaiva te 'stūpamā jīvaloke yathā dharmo naipuṇenopadiṣṭaḥ ||
ユディシュティラは言った。「人が他者に向かって攻撃的に進み出るなら、機会が訪れたとき、他者もまたその人に向かって進み出る。これを生きとし生けるものの世における自らの譬えとして受け取れ。ゆえに、誰をも攻めてはならない。このようにして、ここでは巧みさと明察をもってダルマが説かれている。」

Educational Q&A
Aggression invites counter-aggression; therefore one should refrain from attacking others. The verse presents a practical, worldly analogy to teach dharma through tactful moral reasoning.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction on righteous conduct, Yudhiṣṭhira articulates an ethical principle using an analogy: how one treats others tends to return upon oneself, so restraint and non-aggression are advised.
