अहिंसा-प्रधान धर्मविचारः
Ahiṃsā as the Superior Dharma: Practical and Scriptural Reasoning
त्वया सृष्टा कथं नारी मादृशी वदतां वर । रौद्रकर्माभिजायेत सर्वप्राणिभयड्करी
tvayā sṛṣṭā kathaṁ nārī mādṛśī vadatāṁ vara | raudrakarmābhijāyeta sarvaprāṇibhayaṅkarī ||
她说道：“噢，生主（Prajāpati），言辞之最胜者！若你意欲令我行那严酷残忍之业，为何却创造了如我这般性情柔和的女子？我这样的女子，怎能成为行事凶猛、令一切众生畏惧之人？”

Educational Q&A
The verse raises an ethical tension between one’s innate disposition (gentleness) and imposed or expected conduct (cruel action), questioning whether dharma can demand actions that contradict one’s nature and the moral cost of becoming a source of fear to living beings.
Nārada addresses Prajāpati, challenging the logic of her creation: if she is meant to carry out fierce, fear-inducing deeds, why was she created as a gentle-hearted woman, implying a protest against being assigned a cruel role.
