Āścarya-kathana: Brāhmaṇa–Nāga Dialogue on Sūrya (Vivasvat) and the ‘Second Sun’ Phenomenon
तेभ्यो विशिष्टां जानामि गतिमेकान्तिनां नृणाम् जो ब्राह्मण उपनिषदोंसहित सम्पूर्ण वेदोंका भलीभाँति आश्रय ले उनका विधिपूर्वक स्वाध्याय करते हैं तथा जो संन्यासधर्मका पालन करनेवाले हैं
dharmajñānena caitena suprayuktena karmaṇā | ahiṃsā-dharma-yuktena prīyate harir īśvaraḥ ||
阇那梅阇耶询问：那些在一心之道上坚定不移的人，最高的归宿为何。教诲指出：主宰——哈利，至上统御者——当人真正明了此法，并以善加导引的行动将之付诸实行，且以阿希摩萨（不害、非暴力）之誓为根基时，便心生欢悦。如此被活出来的法，结合内在的觉知与伦理的自制，被宣示为通往最善终局与至高福祉的确实途径。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that God (Hari, the Lord) is pleased not merely by learning, but by dharma understood and enacted: properly directed action (karma) that is explicitly joined to ahiṃsā (non-violence). Ethical restraint and correct practice are presented as the decisive spiritual means.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and right living, Janamejaya’s inquiry frames a discussion of the highest path. The response emphasizes that the supreme outcome belongs to those whose conduct embodies dharma through disciplined action and non-violence, culminating in devotion to Hari.
