कपिल–स्यूमरश्मि संवादः
Kapila and Syūmaraśmi on Renunciation, Householder Support, and Epistemic Authority
यदा न कुरुते भावं सर्वभूतेषु पापकम् । कर्मणा मनसा वाचा ब्रद्म सम्पद्यते तदा,जब समस्त प्राणियोंके प्रति मन, वाणी और क्रियाद्वारा भी बुरे भाव नहीं होते हैं तब मनुष्य ब्रह्मभावको प्राप्त होता है
yadā na kurute bhāvaṃ sarvabhūteṣu pāpakam | karmaṇā manasā vācā brahma sampadyate tadā ||
图拉达罗说道：当一个人对一切众生不生任何伤害或罪恶之意——无论在行为、心念或言语上——此人便证得梵（Brahman）之境，那是以普遍不害与内在清净为根基的至高灵性状态。
तुलाधार उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that true spiritual attainment (Brahman-state) depends on complete non-harm and purity across all three channels—deed (karma), thought (manas), and speech (vāc). Not merely refraining from violence outwardly, but eliminating harmful intent toward any being is presented as the decisive ethical-spiritual criterion.
In the Śānti Parva’s instructional setting, Tulādhāra is giving a dharma-teaching that emphasizes inner disposition over external status. He defines a practical mark of highest realization: the absence of pāpaka-bhāva (harmful/sinful intent) toward all beings in action, mind, and speech.
