"Non violence"
"Non violence" अहिंसा (ahiṃsā) means न (na) हिंसा (hiṃsā). न means non and हिंसा means violence . So the word अहिंसा means non violence or non injury.

अहिंसा परमो धर्मः (ahiṃsā paramo dharmaḥ)। (Mahabharata) Meaning :- अहिंसा means Non-violence, परमः means topmost, ultimate, or supreme, and धर्मः means duty. Thus, the entire phrase means that non-violence is the ultimate duty.
