कालयुक्तधर्मविवेकः
Discerning Dharma in Accord with Time
पापेन कर्मणा देवि वध्यो हिंसारतिर्नर: । अप्रिय: सर्वभूतानां हीनायुरुपजायते
pāpena karmaṇā devi vadhyo hiṃsāratir naraḥ | apriyaḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ hīnāyur upajāyate ||
မဟေရှ္ဝရက မိန့်တော်မူသည်– «အို ဒေဝီ၊ အပြစ်ကံကြောင့် ဟింసာကို နှစ်သက်သော လူသည် သတ်နိုင်သည့်သူ ဖြစ်လာ၏။ သတ္တဝါအားလုံးက မုန်းတီးကြပြီး အသက်တမ်းတိုတောင်းစွာ မွေးဖွားလာ၏»။

Educational Q&A
Delighting in violence is itself a grave ethical fault: it makes a person blameworthy and punishable, alienates them from all living beings, and results in diminished well-being—expressed here as a shortened lifespan—through the moral law of karma.
In Anuśāsana Parva’s didactic setting, Maheshvara addresses Devī and states a general moral principle: sinful, violence-loving conduct brings social hatred and destructive consequences, contrasting with the implied ideal of dharmic, non-harmful behavior.
