मांसपरिवर्जन-प्रशंसा (Praise of Abstention from Meat) / Ethics of Ahiṃsā in Diet and Rite
ब॒हस्पतिर्वाच कृत्वा पापानि कर्माणि अधर्मवशमागत: । मनसा विपरीतेन निरयं प्रतिपद्यते,बृहस्पतिजीने कहा--राजन्! जो मनुष्य पापकर्म करके अधर्मके वशीभूत हो जाता है, उसका मन धर्मके विपरीत मार्गमें जाने लगता है; इसलिये वह नरकमें गिरता है
Bṛhaspatir uvāca: kṛtvā pāpāni karmāṇi adharmavaśam āgataḥ | manasā viparītena nirayaṁ pratipadyate ||
Брихаспати сказал: «Когда человек совершает греховные деяния и подпадает под власть адхармы, ум его обращается к пути, противному дхарме; потому такой человек низвергается в ад».

Educational Q&A
Sinful action strengthens adharma’s hold; once the mind becomes oriented against dharma, the person naturally proceeds toward painful karmic results, described here as falling into niraya (hell).
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction on conduct, Bṛhaspati speaks as a moral authority, explaining to the listener (in this dialogue context) how wrongdoing reshapes the mind and leads to severe consequences.
