13.175.1
अहिंसा वैदिकं कर्म ध्यानमिन्द्रियसंयमः ।
तपोऽथ गुरुशुश्रूषा किं श्रेयः पुरुषं प्रति ॥ १३.१७५.१ ॥
Non-violence, Vedic ritual, meditation, restraint of the senses, austerity, or service to one's teacher — which of these is the highest good for a man?

सर्वाण्येतानि धर्मस्य पृथग्द्वाराणि नित्यशः ।
शृणु संकीर्त्यमानानि षडेव भरतर्षभ ॥ १३.१७५.२ ॥
All of these are separate gates of dharma, always. Listen, best of the Bharatas, as these six are being declared.
13.175.3
हन्त निःश्रेयसं जन्तोरहं वक्ष्याम्यनुत्तमम् ।
अहिंसापाश्रयं धर्मं दान्तो विद्वान्समाचरेत् ॥ १३.१७५.३ ॥
Very well, I will tell you the supreme highest good for a living being: dharma resting on non-violence, which a self-controlled and learned man should practise.
13.175.4
त्रिदण्डं सर्वभूतेषु निधाय पुरुषः शुचिः ।
कामक्रोधौ च संयम्य ततः सिद्धिमवाप्नुते ॥ १३.१७५.४ ॥
A man who, having laid down the threefold staff toward all beings, is pure and has restrained desire and anger, then attains perfection.
13.175.5
अहिंसकानि भूतानि दण्डेन विनिहन्ति यः ।
आत्मनः सुखमन्विच्छन्स प्रेत्य न सुखी भवेत् ॥ १३.१७५.५ ॥
He who strikes with the staff beings who are non-violent, though he seeks his own happiness, is not happy after death.
13.175.6
आत्मोपमस्तु भूतेषु यो वै भवति पूरुषः ।
त्यक्तदण्डो जितक्रोधः स प्रेत्य सुखमेधते ॥ १३.१७५.६ ॥
The man who regards all beings as himself, has laid aside the staff, and has conquered anger, thrives in happiness after death.
13.175.7
सर्वभूतात्मभूतस्य सर्वभूतानि पश्यतः ।
देवाऽपि मार्गे मुह्यन्ति ह्यपदस्य पदेषिणः ॥ १३.१७५.७ ॥
For the one who has made himself the self of all beings and sees all beings, even the gods are bewildered on his path, like those who seek the footing of one without feet.
13.175.8
न तत्परस्य संदध्यात्प्रतिकूलं यदात्मनः ।
एष संक्षेपतो धर्मः कामादन्यः प्रवर्तते ॥ १३.१७५.८ ॥
One should not do to another what is adverse to oneself. In brief, this is dharma; whatever else proceeds otherwise arises from desire.
13.175.9
प्रख्यापने च दाने च सुखदुःखे प्रियाप्रिये ।
आत्मौपम्येन पुरुषः प्रमाणमधिगच्छति ॥ १३.१७५.९ ॥
In proclamation and in giving, in pleasure and pain, in the dear and the disliked, a person attains the standard by treating others as himself.
13.175.10
यथा परः प्रक्रमते परेषु ।
तथा परे प्रक्रमन्ते परस्मिन्।
निषेवते स्वसमां जीवलोके ।
यथा धर्मो नैपुणेनोपदिष्टः। ॥ १३.१७५.१० ॥
As another acts toward others, so others act toward him. In the living world one serves one's equal, as dharma has been taught with skill.
13.175.11
इत्युक्त्वा तं सुरगुरुधर्मराजं युधिष्ठिरम् ।
दिवामचक्रमे धीमान्पश्यतामेव नस्तदा ॥ १३.१७५.११ ॥
Having spoken thus to him, Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira, the wise teacher of the gods departed for heaven, even as we watched.
