Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 7
Dvaipāyana–Kīṭa Saṃvāda: Karmic Memory, Fear of Death, and Embodied Pleasure
Devanagari script
कर्मणा लिप्यते जन्तुर्वाचा च मनसापि च
Translation
Nadudungisan ang nilalang ng sala ng karahasan sa pamamagitan ng gawa, ng salita, at maging ng isip. Ngunit ang sinumang unti-unting tumatalikod sa karahasan—una sa isip, saka sa pananalita, at sa huli sa gawa—at dahil dito’y hindi kailanman kumakain ng karne, siya’y napapalaya rin sa dungis ng tatlong uri ng karahasang nabanggit.
