Sanskrit Original
तत्फलं कोटिगुणितं लभते ऽहिंसको नरः। मनसा कर्मणा वाचा सर्वभूतहिते रताः।।

Sūta said: Hence, violence should be avoided always and at all places. All violent creatures do not harm a man who abstains from violence mentally, verbally and physically. They harass one who injures others. A man who abstains from violence obtains a crore times the benefit that one attains by gifting away the three worlds to one who has mastered the Vedas. Those who are engaged in the welfare of living beings, mentally, verbally and physically and those who follow the path pointed out by kindness go to the world of Rudra.
