मांसास्वादन लुब्धस्य हंतुं प्रवर्त्तते बुद्धिः
देहिनं देहिनं प्रति । शाकिन्या इव दुधियः ||२७||
Meaning : One, who deeply enjoys eating meat, goes on having greater desire (day by day) to slaughter animals just like the evil-minded Shakini (she-goblin).
ये भक्षयन्ति पिशिनं दिव्यभोज्येषु सुधारसं परित्यज्य भुंजते ते
सत्स्वपि । हलाहलम् ।। २८ ।।
Meaning Those, who eat meat even though there are divine dinners; drink verily poison leaving aside
nectar.
न धर्मो निर्दयस्यास्ति पलादस्य कुतो दया ? | पललुब्धो न तद्वेत्ति विद्याद्वोपदिशेन्न हि ||२६||
Meaning: A merciless person can have no piety, and how can a meat-eater have compassion? One who has a lust for eating meat does not understand what mercy means and what religion is ? Even if he understands, he cannot preach to others to refrain from meat-eating because he himself has not left it.
केचिन्मांसं महामोहादश्नन्ति न परं स्वयम् । देवपित्र तिथिभ्योऽपि कल्पयन्ति यदूचिरे ||३०||
Jain Education International
Meaning Some people not only eat meat themselves, because of their mad love for it, but they, out of great ignorance, offer it to gods, dead forefathers and guests also.
