Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 133
Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
सुरषषीरणां श्रुतं मध्ये पृष्टभश्नापि यथातथम् । मयापि तच्च कार्त्स्न्येन यथावदनुवर्णितम् । एतच्छुत्वा महाराज धर्मे कुरुमनः सदा
Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca: Suraṛṣīṇāṃ śrutaṃ madhye pṛṣṭaḥ praśnān api yathātatham | mayāpi tac ca kārtsnyena yathāvad anuvarṇitam || etac chrutvā mahārāja dharme kuru-manaḥ sadā, bharata-nandana |
尤提士提罗说道：“在诸天仙圣（天界仙人）之中，我曾听闻此事；你所问之处，我也依其所问如实作答。我如今亦已将那整件事完整无遗、次第分明地叙述。大王啊，婆罗多族之荣光啊，听罢此言，当恒常令心安住于达摩（Dharma）。”

Educational Q&A
The core teaching is fidelity to dharma: the listener (the king addressed as Bharatanandana) should keep the mind steadily devoted to righteousness, taking the teaching as an authoritative transmission rather than a personal invention.
Yudhiṣṭhira concludes a doctrinal explanation by stating that he heard it among divine seers and has now accurately and completely recounted it in response to the king’s questions, urging the king to remain committed to dharma.
