Shloka 3
मांसभक्षण-दोषाः तथा अहिंसाया माहात्म्यम् | Faults of Meat-Consumption and the Supremacy of Ahiṃsā
बृहस्पतिजीने कहा--भरतश्रेष्ठ! ये छः प्रकारके कर्म ही धर्मजनक हैं तथा सब-के- सब भिन्न-भिन्न कारणोंसे प्रकट हुए हैं। मैं इन छहोंका वर्णन करता हूँ; तुम सुनो ।।
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca — hanta niḥśreyasaṁ jantor ahaṁ vakṣyāmy anuttamam | ahiṁsā-pāśrayaṁ dharmaṁ yaḥ sādhayati vai naraḥ ||
布里哈斯帕提说道：“婆罗多族中最卓越者啊，这六种行持皆能生起达摩，且各由不同因缘而显现。今我将宣说众生至上福祉之无上方便：凡成就以不害为依的达摩者，必得真实成就——拔除迷妄、骄慢与嫉妒，并恒常制伏欲与怒。”

Educational Q&A
The supreme welfare (niḥśreyasa) is attained through dharma that is grounded in ahiṁsā (non-violence), supported by inner discipline—especially the restraint of desire and anger and the removal of delusion, pride, and envy.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction on dharma, Yudhiṣṭhira speaks and introduces a teaching on the highest good, emphasizing non-violence as the foundation of righteous living and spiritual success.
