Śaraṇāgata-Atithi-Dharma in the Kapota Narrative (कपोत-आख्यानम्—शरणागतधर्मः)
ततो जग्राह स श्वाड़ं जीवितार्थी महामुनि: । सदारस्तामुपाह्त्य वने भोक्तुमियेष सः
tato jagrāha sa śvāḍaṃ jīvitārthī mahāmuniḥ | sadārastām upāhṛtya vane bhoktum iyeṣa saḥ ||
于是，那位大牟尼为求保全性命，取了狗肉的一部分；又携妻同往林中，意欲食之——此一插曲鲜明地呈现出赤裸求生与达摩（正法）约束之间的道德张力。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a sharp ethical conflict: even a revered ascetic may be pushed by extreme need into actions normally condemned. It invites reflection on how dharma is tested under distress and how intention (survival) complicates moral judgment.
Bhīṣma narrates that a great sage, wishing to stay alive, takes a piece of a dog’s flesh and, accompanied by his wife, carries it into the forest with the intention of eating it.
