“No end can be seen to one who, wandering in search of sensual desires for a long night, has rolled about in the mouths of lions; up to no end can be seen to one who has rolled about in the mouths of cattle-butchers and beef-eaters; up to no end can be seen to those who, being frogs, have rolled about in the mouths of snakes. For those indulging in sensual desires throughout the long night, no end can be seen to those seized as thieves and decapitated; no end can be seen to those seized and decapitated as adulterers, highway robbers, destroyers of villages, destroyers of provinces, up to pickpockets. Severe, harsh, bitter suffering has been undergone, and blood has flowed and gushed forth in greater measure than the water in the four great oceans.” […]
