Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
परस्वहरणे दोषा: सर्व एव प्रकीर्तिता: । एतद्धि लेशमात्रेण कथितं ते मयानघ
Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | parasvaharaṇe doṣāḥ sarva eva prakīrtitāḥ | etaddhi leśamātreṇa kathitaṃ te mayānagha niṣpāpa nareśa |
Yudhiṣṭhira berkata: “Segala kesalahan yang timbul daripada mengambil milik orang lain telah dinyatakan sepenuhnya. Wahai raja yang tidak bercela, aku menyampaikannya kepadamu hanya secara ringkas—sekadar satu petunjuk kecil tentang perkara ini.”

Educational Q&A
Taking another’s wealth is ethically blameworthy; the text frames it as a source of multiple doṣas (moral faults). Yudhiṣṭhira emphasizes that these faults have been stated, even if only in brief here.
Yudhiṣṭhira concludes a didactic explanation addressed to a king, stating that he has already enumerated the faults connected with appropriating another’s property and that his present statement is only a concise summary.
