Bhīṣma–Yudhiṣṭhira Dialogue
नायं परस्य सुकृतं दुष्कृतं चापि सेवते । करोति यादृशं कर्म तादृशं प्रतिपद्यते,जीव दूसरेके किये हुए शुभ अथवा अशुभ कर्मको नहीं भोगता, वह स्वयं जैसा कर्म करता है वैसा ही फल पाता है
nāyaṁ parasya sukṛtaṁ duṣkṛtaṁ cāpi sevate | karoti yādṛśaṁ karma tādṛśaṁ pratipadyate ||
帕罗娑罗说道：“人不受用他人的功德，也不承受他人的罪过。自己造作何等业行，便遭遇何等果报。”

In Śānti Parva’s didactic discourse, the sage Parāśara instructs on ethical causality (karma): the fruits of action adhere to the doer alone, reinforcing personal accountability as a basis for dharma.
