'Because it is not possible to produce flesh without killing the vitalities, therefore he, who eats flesh, is unavoidably liable to do injury." 65
46
"Although there is flesh of bullocks and buffaloes etc. dying by themselves, yet there is injury by killing microbes and germs that originate in that flesh." 66
"There is continual coming into existence of microbes of the sort of the flesh in the pieces of flesh whether they may be raw, cooked or being cooked." 67 Note. That is the reason why the flesh in any case is bad-smelling.
Wine drinking. The same book says:--- रसजानां च बहूनां जीवानां योनिरिष्यते मद्यं ।
मद्यं भजतां तेषां हिंसा संजायते ऽवश्यम् ॥ ६३ ॥ Rasajânâm cha babunâm Jivánâm yoniriṣyate madyam, Madyam bhajatâm teșâm himsâ sam-jâyate vaśyam
63
""
As wine is the nucleus of many microbes originating in the liquor, therefore there is unavoidable injury to these by one who drinks it." 63
Not eating at night. The same book says रात्रौ भुंजानानां यस्मादनिवारिता भवति हिंसा । हिंसा विरतैस्तस्मात्यक्तव्या रात्रिभुक्ति रपि ॥ १२९ ॥ arrara faa yana: aftētaů kai | अपि बोधितेः प्रदीपे भोज्यजुषां सूक्ष्मजंतूनाम् ॥ १३३ ॥
