Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
ततः प्रेत्य महाराज मृतो जायति सूकर: । सूकरो जातमात्रस्तु रोगेण प्रियते नूप,राजन! फिर वह चूहा मृत्युके पश्चात् सूअर होता है। नरेश्वर! वह सूअर जन्म लेते ही रोगसे मर जाता है
tataḥ pretya mahārāja mṛto jāyati sūkaraḥ | sūkaro jātamātras tu rogeṇa mriyate nṛpa rājan |
ರಾಜನೇ! ನಂತರ ಆ ಇಲಿ ಮರಣಾನಂತರ ಹಂದಿಯಾಗಿ ಹುಟ್ಟುತ್ತದೆ. ನರೇಶ್ವರನೇ! ಆ ಹಂದಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ ತಕ್ಷಣವೇ ರೋಗದಿಂದ ಸಾಯುತ್ತದೆ.

Educational Q&A
Actions bear consequences across lives: unethical or degrading conduct can result in a lower rebirth and immediate suffering, urging adherence to dharma and moral restraint.
A prior being (referred to as 'he') dies and, after death, is reborn as a pig; that pig then dies immediately due to disease, serving as an illustrative example within a moral-discourse context.
