Bharadvāja–Bhṛgu Dialogue
न हिंसयति यो जन्तून् मनोवाक्कायहेतुभि: । जीवितार्थापनयनै: प्राणिभिर्न स हिंस्यते,जो मनुष्य मन, वाणी और शरीररूपी साधनोंद्वारा प्राणियोंकी हिंसा नहीं करता, उसकी भी जीवन और अर्थका नाश करनेवाले हिंसक प्राणी हिंसा नहीं करते हैं
na hiṁsayati yo jantūn manovākkāyahetubhiḥ | jīvitārthāpanayanaiḥ prāṇibhir na sa hiṁsyate ||
ಭೀಷ್ಮನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಮನಸ್ಸು, ವಾಣಿ ಮತ್ತು ದೇಹ ಎಂಬ ಸಾಧನಗಳಿಂದ ಜೀವಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಹಿಂಸೆ ಮಾಡದವನನ್ನು, ಜೀವಿತ ಮತ್ತು ಜೀವನೋಪಾಯವನ್ನು ಕಸಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಹಿಂಸಕ ಪ್ರಾಣಿಗಳೂ ಹಿಂಸಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.

Educational Q&A
Ahimsa must be practiced in thought, speech, and action. A person who refrains from harming others in these three ways becomes less entangled in cycles of hostility and retaliation; even those inclined to violence are less likely to harm such a person.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma, Bhishma teaches Yudhishthira ethical principles for peace and right conduct. Here he highlights non-violence as a practical discipline that shapes one’s safety and social relations.
