Daśa-Karmapatha: Restraints of Body, Speech, and Mind (दश कर्मपथ)
प्राणातिपात: स्तैन्यं च परदारानथापि च । त्रीणि पापानि कायेन सर्वतः परिवर्जयेत्
prāṇātipātaḥ stainyaṃ ca paradārān athāpi ca | trīṇi pāpāni kāyena sarvataḥ parivarjayet ||
毗湿摩教诲说：有三种由身所造之罪，须以一切方式远离——夺人性命、偷盗、以及侵犯他人之配偶。伦理之修持，始于约束其身，离此世所共谴之行。

Educational Q&A
The verse identifies three major bodily transgressions—killing, stealing, and sexual violation of another’s spouse—and instructs that they should be completely avoided. It frames dharma as beginning with restraint of physical actions that directly harm others and society.
In the Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma is instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and right conduct. Here he enumerates key prohibitions (bodily sins) as part of a broader ethical teaching on how one should live.
