धन्यं यशस्यमायुष्यं स्वर्ग्य स्वस्त्ययनं महत् | मांसस्याभक्षणं प्राहुर्नियता: परमर्षय:
dhanyaṃ yaśasyam āyuṣyaṃ svargyaṃ svastyayanaṃ mahat | māṃsasyābhakṣaṇaṃ prāhur niyatāḥ paramarṣayaḥ ||
ພີດສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ມະຫາລິສີຜູ້ມີວິໄນໝັ້ນຄົງ ໄດ້ປະກາດວ່າ ການລະເວັ້ນການກິນເນື້ອສັດແມ່ນມົງຄຸນແທ້—ນຳມາຊຶ່ງພອນ, ຊື່ສຽງ, ອາຍຸຍືນ, ແລະ ບຸນກຸສົນນຳໄປສູ່ສະຫວັນ; ແທ້ຈິງແລ້ວ ມັນເປັນວິທີອັນຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່ເພື່ອຄວາມຜາສຸກ».

The verse teaches that refraining from eating meat is an ethical discipline praised by great sages as a powerful source of auspiciousness—supporting longevity, good reputation, and heavenly merit.
In the Anushasana Parva, Bhishma is instructing Yudhishthira on dharma and right conduct; here he cites the authority of disciplined seers to commend abstention from meat as a major means of welfare.
