13.70

"The violent lack benevolence in their hearts; / The strong and weak wound and destroy one another. / Killing living beings brings retribution in life after life, / Accumulating resentments across repeated kalpas. / Suffering the retribution of sins, they die short-lived; / In terror and trembling they encounter sudden disasters. / It is because I fear this / That with a compassionate mind I subdue the officers of Māra."
