विवेचन : प्रस्तुत पाठ में अहिंसा को भगवती कहकर भगवान की तरह असंख्य गुणों वाली बताकर उसकी असाधारण महिमा प्रकट की गई है। साथ ही यह भी स्पष्ट किया गया है कि चाहे नर हो, सुर हो अथवा असुर हो, या इनसे भिन्न पशु-पक्षी आदि हों, सबके लिए अहिंसा ही शरणभूत है । अथाह सागर में डूबते हुए मनुष्य को जैसे द्वीप मिल जाये तो उसकी रक्षा हो जाती है, उसी प्रकार संसार-सागर में दुःख पा रहे हुए प्राणियों के लिए भगवती अहिंसा त्राणदायिनी है।
