ये नृशंसा दुरात्मान: प्राणिप्राणहरा नरा: । उद्बवेजनीया भूतानां व्याला इव भवन्ति ते
ye nṛśaṃsā durātmānaḥ prāṇiprāṇaharā narāḥ | udvejanīyā bhūtānāṃ vyālā iva bhavanti te ||
ພີດສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: ບຸລຸດຜູ້ໂຫດຮ້າຍ ໃຈຊົ່ວ ແລະຊິງເອົາຊີວິດຂອງສັດມີຊີວິດ ຈະກາຍເປັນສິ່ງທີ່ສັດທັງປວງຢ້ານກົວ ແລະລັງກຽດ—ດັ່ງງູພິດ. ຄວາມຮຸນແຮງທີ່ເກີດຈາກຄວາມໂຫດຮ້າຍ ຈະຕັດຄົນອອກຈາກຊຸມຊົນແຫ່ງທຳ ໃຫ້ເຫຼືອແຕ່ຜູ້ທີ່ຖືກຢ້ານກົວ ບໍ່ແມ່ນຜູ້ທີ່ໄດ້ຮັບຄວາມເຄົາລົບ.

Educational Q&A
Cruelty and the taking of life make a person universally feared and shunned; ethical conduct (especially restraint from harming beings) is essential for social trust and moral standing.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and right conduct. Here he characterizes violent, cruel men as comparable to serpents—creatures that all beings instinctively avoid—highlighting the social and moral consequences of such behavior.
