Charioteer : O prince, this is nothing, Only the cry of lament

That comes from wild animals caged there after gathering.
: Perchance you can tell me Why those animals are bound here be ?
In the marriage festive The kings who have come to join and wait, For their food in banquet. As the captured creatures are afraid of their lives, Their painful cry revives. Only this.
: You say, only this... No, no Yodhajit,
It is not fair
Jain Education International
To kill so many creatures For only trivial pleasures. In the world under the Sun None wants to die. Even a small injury Causes so much agony, As if the pangs of death. Never never this I prefer For pleasure much afar.
: To remove this sorrow Give your order prince, They will all be freed.
: Will be set free,
But how they will be rescued From the eternal stream of
life and death?
No, no, no!
Slowly is receding away this universe
