Educational Q&A
Ahiṁsā (non-violence) is presented as a supremely fruitful discipline, yielding tangible benefits like health and prosperity, while graded ascetic restraints (living on fruits/roots or on leaves) are linked to correspondingly higher rewards such as sovereignty and heaven.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma continues advising Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma by listing the results (phala) of ethical conduct and ascetic practices, emphasizing the exceptional potency of non-violence.
