________________ नाकृत्वा प्राणिनां हिंसां मांसमुत्पद्यते क्वचित् । न च प्राणिवधः स्वर्ग्यस्तस्मान्मांसं विवर्जयेत् ॥ २२ ॥ Meaning Meat can never be obtained without killing animals. Killing never leads to heaven. Therefore meat-eating must be abandoned. ये भक्षयन्त्यन्यपलं स्वकीयपलपुष्टये । त एव घातका यन्न वधको भक्षकं विना ||२३|| Meaning: Those who eat the meat of animals, in order to add fat to their bodies, are the real killers, because there cannot be a killer, if there is no eater. मष्टान्नान्यपि विष्ठासादमुतान्यपि मूत्रसात् । स्युर्यस्मिनङ्गकस्यास्य कृते कः पापमाचरेत् ||२४|| : Meaning The sweet dinner, when eaten and digested, is turned into excreta. The nectrine water becomes urine ultimately. Therefore, why should one commit sins for such a hopeless body? मांसाशने न दोषोऽस्तीत्युच्यते यैर्दुरात्मभिः । व्याध प्रवृकव्याघ्रशृगालास्तंगुरुकृताः Meaning: Those wicked persons who declare that there is no sin in eating meat, appear to emulate a hunter, vulture, wolf, tiger, and jackal. मांस भक्षयिताऽमुत्र यस्य मांसमिहाद्म्यहम् । एतन्मांसस्य मांसत्वे निरुक्त' मनुरब्रवीत् ।।२६।। Meaning: That being, whose meet I am eating at present, in this birth, shall eat me in the next world (of my rebirth).
