Adhyaya 41 — Yogic Conduct and the Discipline Leading to Siddhi
अस्तेयं ब्रह्मचर्यञ्च त्यागो 'लोभस्तथैव च ।
व्रतानि पञ्च भिक्षूणामहिंसापरमाणि वै ॥
asteyaṃ brahmacaryañ ca tyāgo 'lobhas tathaiva ca | vratāni pañca bhikṣūṇām ahiṃsāparamāṇi vai ||
不盗、梵行(ブラフマチャリヤ:聖なる禁欲)、離欲(出離)、無貪—これらは遊行の修行者の五つの誓戒と数えられる。しかも彼らの最高の原理は、まさにアヒンサー(不害・非暴力)である。

Renunciant ethics are summarized as non-appropriation (asteya), sexual restraint (brahmacarya), letting-go (tyāga), and non-greed (alobha), all grounded in ahiṃsā as the highest norm.
Ācāra/dharma exposition; ancillary to the Purāṇa’s narrative-cosmological core.
Ahiṃsā is ‘parama’ because violence begins subtly as grasping—toward objects, pleasure, or status. These vows cut the roots of grasping, stabilizing the mind for yoga.
