經律異相 47.18

47.18

吾為師子王　以殺為家業
噉肉飲其血　以此為常饍
汝既不自量　脫吾牙出難
還得出吾口　此恩何可忘

'"I am the king of lions,
Taking killing as my family trade.
Devouring flesh and drinking blood,
I make this my constant food.
You failed to measure your own strength,
Yet escaped my teeth and came out from danger,
Returning safely from my mouth—
How could you forget such a kindness?"'
