यो ऽअहिंसकानि भूतानि हिनस्त्य् आत्मसुखैच्छया । स जीवांश् च मृतश् च-एव न क्व चित् सुखम् एधते ॥
yo 'ahiṃsakāni bhūtāni hinasty ātmasukha.icchayā | sa jīvāṃś ca mṛtaś ca-eva na kva cit sukham edhate ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
He who injures innoxious beings from a wish to (give) himself pleasure, never finds happiness, neither living nor dead.
