The Doctrines of the Jainas

He prayeth well, who loveth well Both man and bird and beast He prayeth best who loveth best All things both great and small
Coleridge
and that is why a Jaina always says:
खामे मि सव्वजीवे, सव्वे जीवा खमंतु मे।
मित्ती मे सव्वभूएस, वेरं मज्झं न केणइ॥ "I forgive all souls; let all souls forgive me. I am on friendly terms with all; I have no enmity with anybody."
