Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
ततो गर्भ: सम्भवति श्लेषात् स्त्रीपुंसयोर्नूप । एतत् ते सर्वमाख्यातं भूय: कि श्रोतुमिच्छसि
tato garbhaḥ sambhavati śleṣāt strīpuṃsayor nṛpa | etat te sarvam ākhyātaṃ bhūyaḥ kiṃ śrotum icchasi rājān ||
बृहस्पती म्हणाले—हे नृप! नंतर स्त्री-पुरुषांच्या संयोगाने त्याच्यापासून गर्भ उत्पन्न होतो. हे सर्व मी तुला सांगितले; आता आणखी काय ऐकू इच्छितोस?
