तुलाधार उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse declares ahiṁsā (non-injury to living beings) as the supreme dharma. A person who never causes any creature to feel fear or disturbance gains 'abhaya'—a secure, fear-free standing among all beings—because his conduct removes the very causes of hostility and retaliation.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma, Tūlādhar addresses a sage (mahāmune) and emphasizes an ethical hierarchy: above ritual or other duties stands non-violence. He frames it not only as a moral ideal but as a practical spiritual result—harmlessness leads to universal safety and peace.
