By listening to (the sermon of) Bhagavan or anagars ve (ascetics) it becomes known (to scme humans) that “this
(violence towards mobile-bodied beings) is a granthi (a knot or to the cause of karmic bondage); this is fondness (illusion); this is (the cause of) death; and this is (the passage to) hell as well.
A person who (in spite of this) has cravings (for pleasures and comforts), employing various types of shastras (weapons)
in mobile-bodied beings related violent activities, causes harm a to mobile-bodied beings. (Such person) Destroys not only
mobile-bodied beings but also many other types of beings. ___I say
Some people slay beings (animals) for their bodies (to offer taas sacrifice before a deity, to prepare medicines, or for cosmetic
use). Others do it to get leather, flesh, blood, heart, bile, fat, a feathers, tail, hair, horns, tusks, teeth, molars, nails, sinews,
bones and bone-marrow. Some slay with a purpose and others without any purpose.
Some kill (with a feeling of vengeance) because a being a attacked (their kinfolk). Some kill (for protection) because a
