मांसपरिवर्जन-प्रशंसा (Praise of Abstention from Meat) / Ethics of Ahiṃsā in Diet and Rite

एवं खलु समायुक्तो रमते विगतज्वरः । रूपवान्‌ कीर्तिमांश्वैव धनवांश्वोपपद्यते,इस प्रकार अन्न-दानमें संलग्न हुआ पुरुष निश्चिन्त हो सुखका अनुभव करता है और रूपवान, कीर्तिमान्‌ तथा धनवान होता है

evaṁ khalu samāyukto ramate vigatajvaraḥ | rūpavān kīrtimāṁś caiva dhanavāṁś copapadyate ||

Yudhiṣṭhira nói: “Quả thật, người được trang bị như vậy và chuyên tâm đúng pháp (trong kỷ luật bố thí, nhất là bố thí thực phẩm) thì sống an vui, không còn ưu phiền và khổ não; lại còn đạt được dung mạo đẹp đẽ, danh tiếng tốt lành và của cải.”

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches that sincere engagement in dāna—especially anna-dāna—purifies the mind and reduces inner agitation, leading to a life of contentment and to socially visible fruits such as good reputation, attractiveness (as a sign of well-being), and material prosperity.

In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction on dharma, Yudhiṣṭhira speaks within a discussion on the merits of charitable giving, summarizing the beneficial results that accrue to one who is properly devoted to such giving.
