पञ्चतंत्र - काकोलूकीय - धर्म

संक्षेपात्कथ्यते धर्मो जनाः किं विस्तरेण वः ।
परोपकारः पुण्याय पापाय परपीडनम् ॥

- पञ्चतंत्र, काकोलूकीय

I will tell you what constitutes Dharma concisely. There is no use giving long discourses on this aspect. Helping others will lead to good karma. Troubling others will lead to bad karma.

- Panchatantra, Kakolukiya
