Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
तेभ्यो विशिष्टां जानामि गतिमेकान्तिनां नृणाम् जो ब्राह्मण उपनिषदोंसहित सम्पूर्ण वेदोंका भलीभाँति आश्रय ले उनका विधिपूर्वक स्वाध्याय करते हैं तथा जो संन्यासधर्मका पालन करनेवाले हैं
dharmajñānena caitena suprayuktena karmaṇā | ahiṃsā-dharma-yuktena prīyate harir īśvaraḥ ||
ジャナメージャヤは、一点に定まる道に堅く立つ者たちの、最上の帰趣を問う。教えはこう説く――主ハリ、至上の統御者は、人がこのダルマを真に理解し、アヒンサー（不殺生・非暴力）の誓いに根ざした、正しく導かれた行いとして実践するとき、歓喜される。内なる智と倫理的な自制を伴って生きられるダルマこそ、最良の結末と最高の善へ至る確かな手段であると示される。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that God (Hari, the Lord) is pleased not merely by learning, but by dharma understood and enacted: properly directed action (karma) that is explicitly joined to ahiṃsā (non-violence). Ethical restraint and correct practice are presented as the decisive spiritual means.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and right living, Janamejaya’s inquiry frames a discussion of the highest path. The response emphasizes that the supreme outcome belongs to those whose conduct embodies dharma through disciplined action and non-violence, culminating in devotion to Hari.
