Educational Q&A
Personal welfare (hita) is achieved by adhering to dharma: avoid illicit relations with another man’s wife, avoid improper/inauspicious marital association as stated here (vandhyā), and never appropriate a Brāhmaṇa’s property (brahmasva), which is treated as especially protected.
Within Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction-oriented discourse, the speaker delivers a prescriptive rule of conduct, linking moral restraint and respect for protected property to one’s own long-term good.
