Shloka 7
Ahiṃsā as Threefold Restraint (Mind–Speech–Action) and the Ethics of Consumption
ततो राजा समुत्थाय धृतराष्ट्रपुरोगम: । पूजामनुपमां चक्रे सर्वे ते च सभासद:,उन्हें देखते ही राजा युधिष्छिर धृतराष्ट्रको आगे करके खड़े हो गये। फिर उन्होंने तथा उन सभी सभासदोंने बृहस्पतिजीकी अनुपम पूजा की
tato rājā samutthāya dhṛtarāṣṭra-puro-gamaḥ | pūjām anupamāṃ cakre sarve te ca sabhāsadaḥ ||
于是国王起身而立，将持国王置于前列。随即他行无比殊胜的恭敬供养，诸会众亦皆同作——以合乎正法之礼，尊奉可敬的布里哈斯帕提，敬重其灵性权威。

Educational Q&A
