Living creatures must not be made use of to feed living creatures. On the three full moons of the châturmâsyas, on the full moon which is in conjunction with the nakshatra Tishya, on that which is in conjunction with the nakshatra Punarvasú, the 14th, 15th and the day which follows the full moon, and, in general, each day of uposatha, fish must not be caught nor offered for sale. In these same days animals shut up in parks for game must not be destroyed, nor those in the reservoirs for fishing, nor any other class of living creatures. The 8th, 14th and 15th of each half-moon, and the day which follows the fall moon of Tishya, of Punarvasa and of the three châturmasyas, oxen, goats, rams or swine, must not be mutilated, nor any other animal that it is usual to mutilate. The day of the full moon of Tishya, of Punarvasů, and of the châturmâsyas, and the first day of the fortnight that follows a full moon of châturmasya, neither oxen nor horses must be marked.
