Ahiṃsā as the Superior Dharma: Practical and Scriptural Reasoning
Devanagari script
सर्वे देवा मर्त्यसंज्ञाविशिष्टा: सर्वे मर्त्या देवसंज्ञाविशिष्टा: । तस्मात् पुत्र मा शुचो राजसिंह पुत्र: स्वर्ग प्राप्प ते मोदते ह
Transliteration
sarve devā martyasaṁjñā-viśiṣṭāḥ sarve martyā devasaṁjñā-viśiṣṭāḥ | tasmāt putra mā śuco rājasimha putraḥ svargaṁ prāptaḥ te modate ha ||
Translation
ਭੀਸ਼ਮ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ—ਸਾਰੇ ਦੇਵਤਾ ਕਿਸੇ ਨ ਕਿਸੇ ਅਰਥ ਵਿੱਚ ‘ਮਰਤ੍ਯ’ ਦੀ ਸੰਜ्ञਾ ਨਾਲ ਯੁਕਤ ਹਨ, ਅਤੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਮਰਤ੍ਯ ਕਿਸੇ ਨ ਕਿਸੇ ਅਰਥ ਵਿੱਚ ‘ਦੇਵ’ ਦੀ ਸੰਜ्ञਾ ਨਾਲ ਯੁਕਤ ਹਨ। ਇਸ ਲਈ, ਪੁੱਤਰ, ਸ਼ੋਕ ਨਾ ਕਰ, ਹੇ ਰਾਜਸਿੰਹ। ਤੇਰਾ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਸਵਰਗ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ; ਉਹ ਉੱਥੇ ਨਿਸ਼ਚਿਤ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਸੰਨ ਹੈ।
