अध्याय २९४ — योगलक्षणम् तथा सांख्यपरिसंख्यानम्
Yoga Definition and Sāṃkhya Enumeration
रड्रावतरणं चैव तथा रूपोपजीवनम् । मद्यमांसोपजीव्यं च विक्रयं लोहचर्मणो:
rudrāvataraṇaṃ caiva tathā rūpopajīvanam | madyamāṃsopajīvyaṃ ca vikrayaṃ lohacarmaṇoḥ ||
パラーシャラは言った。「また、ルドラ（Rudra）の降下に関わる行い（あるいはルドラの儀礼）や、外見・姿形を頼みとして生計を立てること、さらに酒と肉の売買で糧を得ること、鉄と皮革の取引で利を得ること——これらはここに、倫理に照らして咎むべき生業として説かれている。」
पराशर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse lists certain livelihoods—connected with Rudra-related practices, living by mere outward display, and trading in liquor, meat, iron, and hides—as morally problematic within a dharma framework that values restraint, purity, and non-harm.
In Śānti Parva’s didactic setting, Parāśara is enumerating occupations and behaviors to be avoided or regarded as blameworthy, as part of a broader instruction on righteous conduct and proper means of sustenance.
