अध्याय २५६ — श्रद्धा, अहिंसा, स्पर्धा-त्यागः
Tūlādhāra–Jājali: Faith, Non-harm, and Renunciation of Rivalry
पाणिभ्यां चैव जग्राह तान्यश्रूणि जनेश्वर: । मानवानां हितार्थाय ययाचे पुनरेव ह
pāṇibhyāṃ caiva jagrāha tāny aśrūṇi janeśvaraḥ | mānavānāṃ hitārthāya yayāce punar eva ha ||
那罗陀说道：众生之主（生主，Prajāpati）为人类之福祉，将那些泪滴以双手捧起。随后，死神（Mṛtyu）又一次向他恳求——寻求一种方法，使其承担杀戮之重任而不违背法（dharma）与宇宙秩序。

Educational Q&A
Even necessary functions like death and punishment must be integrated into dharma: governance should aim at the welfare of beings, and the moral burden of harm is acknowledged rather than denied.
Brahmā, called the lord of creatures, receives the tears associated with Death, symbolically taking up and regulating the sorrow and burden tied to mortality; Death then petitions again, seeking guidance or relief in carrying out her role.
