Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 132
Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
अपरस्मिन् कथायोगे भूय: श्रोष्यसि भारत । एतन्मया महाराज ब्रह्मणो वदत: पुरा
aparasmin kathāyoge bhūyaḥ śroṣyasi bhārata | etan mayā mahārāja brahmaṇo vadataḥ purā ||
尤提士提罗说道：“噢，婆罗多啊，在另一个谈论的机缘中，你还会再听到此事。大王啊，久远以前，当梵天（Brahmā）开口宣说之时，我亲自从他口中听闻了这些内容。如今你既发问，我便如实依我所闻，向你叙述。听了这些之后，愿你恒常将心安住于达摩（Dharma）。”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes faithful transmission of dharma-teaching: Yudhiṣṭhira claims he is repeating what he once heard from Brahmā, and urges the listener to keep the mind steadily engaged in dharma.
Yudhiṣṭhira concludes or frames a teaching by noting that the same topic will be heard again in another narrative setting, and he authenticates his account by tracing it back to Brahmā’s earlier discourse.
