This twenty thousand when compare ed to the whole population of India is not so very large. Even in the United States most of the crimes which are com:nitted can be traced to drink, and when we compare that state with the state of India the deaths froin wild animals are nothing in coniparison to the other statement; and when we also consider the fact that these people who are killed are not always Hindus, and that all of thein are not of the highest class in morality, who always practise universal love, we can see that there is really nothing in this to prove that universal love causes the couptry to be overrun with animals. It is probable that there is not a single instance in a community of Jains in which a person is known to have been devoured by any wild beast. No monk has up to this time been killed in this way.
