Today's Subhashita.

अहिंसा परमो धर्मस्तथाहिंसा  परो दमः |
अहिंसा  परमं  दानं  अहिंसा  परमं  तपः ||  - महासुभषितसंग्रह  (4083)

अर्थ -      अहिंसा (प्राणिमात्र के प्रति दया भाव तथा  प्रतिहिंसा  न  करना)
 ही सर्वोत्तम धर्म है तथा अहिंसा ही सर्वोत्तम आत्म-संयम है  | अहिंसा
 ही सर्वोत्तम दान  है तथा अहिंसा ही सर्वोत्तम तपस्या  है  |

Ahimsa paramo dharmastathaahimsaa paro damhh.
Ahimsa paramam daanam ahimsa paramam tapah.

Ahimsa = non violence,      Paramo - supreme, absolute.
Dharmastathaahimsaa = dharmh +  tatha+ ahimsa.   Dharmah  =
religious absraction, virtue.   Tatha  =  thus,    Paro = another.
Damah = self control.    Paramam =  absolute.       Daanam = charaty.
Tapah =  religious austerity.

i.e.       Non violence  (not hurting any body ) is the absolute form of
Religion  as also absolute form of self control.   Non violence is also the
best form of charity and also the absolute form of religious austerity.
