Kīṭopākhyāna: Prajā-pālana as Kṣatra-vrata and the Attainment of Brāhmaṇya
एतत् फलमहिंसाया भूयश्नच कुरुपुंगव । न हि शक््या गुणा वक्तुमपि वर्षशतैरपि
etat phalam ahiṃsāyā bhūyaś ca kuru-puṅgava | na hi śakyā guṇā vaktum api varṣa-śatair api, kuru-śreṣṭha ||
ພີສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ນີ້ແມ່ນຜົນແຫ່ງອະຫິງສາ—ແລະຍັງມີຫຼາຍກວ່ານີ້ອີກ, ໂອ ຜູ້ເປັນດັ່ງງົວຜູ້ກ້າໃນຫມູ່ກຸຣຸ. ແທ້ຈິງ, ໂອ ຜູ້ປະເສີດໃນຫມູ່ກຸຣຸ, ຄຸນຄ່າແລະປະໂຫຍດທີ່ເກີດຈາກອະຫິງສາ ບໍ່ອາດພັນລະນາໃຫ້ໝົດໄດ້ ແມ່ນແຕ່ໃນຮ້ອຍປີ».
भीष्म उवाच
Ahiṃsā (non-violence) yields immense spiritual and ethical merit; its benefits are so vast that they cannot be exhaustively articulated, even over an entire century.
In the Anushasana Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising a Kuru ruler (traditionally Yudhishthira), emphasizing the supreme value of non-violence and praising its immeasurable rewards.
