________________ 424 by infatuation, is delivered from the guilt of sin, when his body has been completely consumed. 7. He, whose Brahma-nture of the Absolute Deity is once submerged by wine, loses his rank as a Brahmana and attains the condition of a śudra. 8. Therefore, O beloved of the gods! persons desirous of the happiness of Svarga (heaven), and Final Beatitude, should not by all means, ever drink wine. Besides, moreover, wine-drinking is the source of impurity; it gives an opportunity for enemies, awakens anger and other passions; and it is a meeting-place of disappointments and a wrong pavilion for misfortune. Just as, wine is forbidden to be.drink by excellent persons, in the same way, animal food (flesh) is forbidden to be eaten. Meat-diet creates a diminution in religious meditation, makes rocm for unpleasant meditation and sentiments of wrath, and causes destruction of higher animals. It is the place of breeding for worms; it causes destruction of creatures entrapped under various circumstances. It is the source of a vehement desire for pleasures of the palate and for the ungodly hunting; it is an efficient cause of numerous dangerous diseases; it is disgusting to the eyes of beholders; It speedily leads one to misfortune; and it bids farewell for ever to bondage of meritorious action and also to the enjoyment of happiness Who else possessing good knowledge will ever desire for meat-diet which is the mine of such blemishes!
