Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
ये पापानि नराः कृत्वा निरस्यन्ति व्रतैः सदा । सुखदुःखसमायुक्ता व्यथितास्ते भवन्त्युत
ye pāpāni narāḥ kṛtvā nirasyanti vrataiḥ sadā | sukhaduḥkhasamāyuktā vyathitās te bhavanty uta ||
ຢຸທິສຖິຣະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ຜູ້ໃດກໍຕາມ ກະທຳບາບແລ້ວ ແຕ່ກໍພະຍາຍາມຂັບໄລ່ມັນດ້ວຍວຣະຕະ ແລະ ຂໍ້ປະພຶດປະຕິບັດຢູ່ເລື້ອຍໆ ຜູ້ນັ້ນຍັງຖືກຜູກມັດໃນຄວາມສຸກແລະຄວາມທຸກທີ່ສັບປ່ຽນກັນ ແລະ ຍັງຖືກທຸກທົນຢູ່ເທົ່າເກົ່າ. ຄວາມບໍ່ສະຫງົບໃນໃຈບໍ່ພົບທີ່ພັກພິງອັນໝັ້ນຄົງ ເພາະການຊົດໃຊ້ບາບໂດຍບໍ່ປັບປຸງຕົນຢ່າງແທ້ຈິງ ຍັງປ່ອຍໃຫ້ຮາກເຫງົ້າແຫ່ງຄວາມຜິດຢູ່».

Educational Q&A
Expiatory vows alone do not secure peace if one continues sinful conduct; without genuine inner change and restraint, a person remains trapped in recurring pleasure and pain and lives in ongoing distress.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s dharma-instruction setting, Yudhiṣṭhira speaks about the moral psychology of wrongdoing and atonement, emphasizing that repeated sin followed by ritual remedies still results in suffering.
