Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
वृषलो ब्राह्मणीं गत्वा कृमियोनौ प्रजायते । ततः सम्प्राप्प निधनं जायते सूकर: पुनः:
vṛṣalo brāhmaṇīṃ gatvā kṛmiyonau prajāyate | tataḥ samprāpya nidhanaṃ jāyate sūkaraḥ punaḥ ||
ယုဓိဋ္ဌိရက မိန့်တော်မူသည်– ရှူဒြ (śūdra) အတန်းအစားယောက်ျားတစ်ဦးက ဘြာဟ္မဏ (brāhmaṇa) မိန်းမနှင့် ကာမဆက်ဆံလျှင်၊ ကိုယ်ခန္ဓာစွန့်ပြီးနောက် ပထမဦးစွာ ပိုးကောင်တို့၏ ယောနိ၌ မွေးဖွားရ၏။ ထို့နောက် ထပ်မံသေပြီးလျှင် ဝက်အဖြစ် ပြန်လည်မွေးဖွား၏။

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches a karmic warning: violating prescribed social/sexual boundaries (as framed in this dharma-discourse) is said to lead to morally and existentially degrading rebirths, emphasizing restraint and adherence to normative conduct.
In Anuśāsana Parva’s instructional setting, Yudhiṣṭhira voices a rule-like statement about consequences: a śūdra man who approaches a brāhmaṇa woman is described as undergoing successive low rebirths—first as a worm, then as a pig—after death.
