are destroyed, and some kill shelterless animals in the presence of gods for the purpose of giving an offering of flesh to them. Therefore, wisemen I having ciosed your eyes, just think over in your mind, what dharma there is in such deeds. Nothing except Adharma 2.
धर्मश्चेत् परदारसङ्गकरणादर्मः सुरासेवनात् ।।
संपुष्टिः पशुमत्स्यमांसनिकराहाराच हे धीरे ! ते । इत्वा प्राणि च यस्य चेत्तव भवेत् स्वर्गापवर्गाप्तये
कोऽसत्कर्मवया सदा परिचितः स्यान्नेति जानीमहे ॥२॥ 2 Dharmscet paradarasangakaranad dharmaḥ surāsèvanat
Sampuștib pasuinasyamāmsanikarāhārācca hé virè té
Hatva-prāni ca yasya cettava bhavět svargäpavargaptayé Ko'śat karmatayā tadā paricitah syānnéti jānimahé 2.
2 O Brave man ! If there is dharma in sexual intercourse with another man's wife; if there is dharma in drinking spirituous liquors; if your body strengthens by eating the food of heaps of the flesh of animals and fish, ond if your killing of a number of animals results in the accomplishment of svarga (heaven) and Mokşa, we do not know, what then is responsible for such evil actions ? Adharma सरागोऽपि हि देवश्चेत् गुरुरवह्मचार्यपि । Gretatsfa 7: Fita HE FET Fora itu

Sa-rägo'pi hi dévascèt guru r-abra-hmacāryapi Kripāhino'pi dharmaḥ syāt kaştam nasta ihå jagat.
If the deity is full of passion, if the preceptor is immoral ano if the dharma (code of religion) is deviod of the quality of mercy, it is a puty that the world is going to be ruined.
