Mahabharata 3.131.10 meaning
dharmam yo badhate dharmo na sa dharmah kudharma tat
avirodhee tu yo dharmah sa dharmah satyavikrama
धर्मं यो बाधते धर्मो न स धर्मः कुधर्म तत्।
अविरोधी तु यो धर्मः स धर्मः सत्यविक्रम॥
A dharma that blocks another dharma is not dharma but a corrupt one. Only the dharma that does not conflict with others is true dharma, O king.
What it means
In the story of King Shibi, the hawk argues that saving the dove should not starve the hawk. Real goodness looks for solutions that harm no one, not rules that help one by hurting another.हिंदी में अर्थ
जो धर्म दूसरे धर्म को बाधित करे, वह धर्म नहीं, कुधर्म है। हे राजन, जो दूसरों से टकराए नहीं, वही सच्चा धर्म है।
राजा शिबि की कथा में बाज़ कहता है कि कबूतर को बचाते हुए मुझे भूखा मत मारो। सच्ची भलाई ऐसा रास्ता ढूँढती है जिससे किसी का अहित न हो।
Spoken by Hawk.
