Shloka : 13

स्त्रिया धनस्य वा प्राप्त्यै साम्राज्यस्य च वा क्वचित्

मनुष्यस्य तु कस्यापि हिंसा कार्या न सर्वथा ॥ 13 ॥

અને સ્ત્રી, ધન અને રાજ્ય તેની પ્રાપ્તિને અર્થે પણ કોઈ મનુષ્યની હિંસા તો કોઈ પ્રકારે ક્યારેય પણ ન જ કરવી. ॥ 13 ॥

And violence should never be committed by any means against a human being to attain woman, wealth or kingdom (power). || 13 ||

Commentary

Shri Hari says: "My devotees should not commit violence by any means". i.e. through thought, word or deed, towards the humani­ty, however big the offence may be. As it is very rare to achieve human body and through human body only all the four principal objects of human existence i.e. Dharma, Arth, Kama and Moksha could be accomplished. And if human body is destroyed, nothing is left. Hence, such activities should not be committed. Violence should not be committed against a human being to get one’s beloved woman, desired wealth or emperorship of a kingdom. Moreover, a rigorous penance has been mentioned for the killing of a human. Therefore, one should avoid the violence against a human being by all means.

A killer of a human being cannot be reborn as a human being in his next birth, even after suffering the hell. Thus, a killer of a human being goes through endless sufferings.

And among the various kinds of violence, the worst kind of violence is to harm a perfect devotee of Shriji Maharaj through thought, word or deed, i.e. to think, speak or act against him or to harm him.
