=== Compassion ===
=== करुणा || Compassion<ref name=":2" /> ===
To have compassion towards all living beings, including human beings was considered as the root of 'Dharma' .Every one was asked to look towards other living beings as his ownself (Atmavat Sarvabhutanam). The Smritis declared that cruelty to animals was a punishable offence. There is also a custom to give a weekly holiday to bullocks. In the Mahabharatha, Raja Rantideva, declares:<blockquote>कामये दुःखतप्तानां प्रानिनामार्तिनाशनम् | ''kāmaye duḥkhataptānāṁ prānināmārtināśanam |''</blockquote>Meaning: My desire (as the) highest Dharma is to wipe out the tears from the eyes of living beings in distress.
To have compassion towards all living beings, including human beings is considered as the root of Dharma. Everyone was asked to look towards other living beings as one's own Self ie. आत्मवत् सर्वभूतानाम् | ''ātmavat sarvabhūtānām''. The Smrtis even declared cruelty to animals as a punishable offence. In fact, there was a custom to give a weekly holiday to bullocks. Epitomizing this virtue of Karuna, in the Mahabharata, Raja Rantideva declares,<blockquote>कामये दुःखतप्तानां प्राणिनामार्तिनाशनम् | ''kāmaye duḥkhataptānāṁ prāṇināmārtināśanam |''</blockquote>Meaning: My desire (as the) highest Dharma is to wipe out the tears from the eyes of living beings in distress.
Basaveshwara, the great 12th Century Reformer declared "Compassion is the root of Dharma; bereft of compassion, there is no Dharma".
Furthermore, in the 12th century, Basaveshwara, the great Reformer said, <blockquote>''Compassion is the root of Dharma. Bereft of compassion, there is no Dharma.''</blockquote>
