Practice ahiṁsā (non-injury) toward all beings, cultivate maitrī (friendliness) as one’s settled disposition, and do not form hostility with anyone—this is presented as a worthy and dharmic use of human birth.

In the Śānti Parva’s instruction-oriented setting, Nārada delivers a concise ethical injunction, emphasizing universal non-violence and amity as guiding principles for conduct.
