मांसभक्षण-दोषाः तथा अहिंसाया माहात्म्यम् | Faults of Meat-Consumption and the Supremacy of Ahiṃsā
अहिंसकानि भूतानि दण्डेन विनिहन्ति यः । आत्मन: सुखमन्विच्छन् स प्रेत्य न सुखी भवेत्,जो मनुष्य अपने सुखकी इच्छा रखकर अहिंसक प्राणियोंको डंडेसे मारता है, वह परलोकमें सुखी नहीं होता है
ahiṃsakāni bhūtāni daṇḍena vinihanti yaḥ | ātmanaḥ sukham anvicchan sa pretya na sukhī bhavet ||
由提施提罗说道:“凡为求一己之乐而以杖击杀无害众生者,死后不得安乐。以私欲施暴于无辜,只在来世招致苦报,而非福乐。”
युधिछिर उवाच
Personal pleasure cannot justify harming the harmless; violence motivated by self-interest leads to adverse karmic results and unhappiness after death.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction on dharma, Yudhiṣṭhira articulates an ethical principle: one who kills non-violent creatures with force, merely for one’s own comfort, will not attain happiness in the hereafter.
