27.11

"We disciples, today next perform kṣamā for the sinful retribution of being devoid of understanding in the destiny of animals; we perform kṣamā for the sinful retribution in the destiny of animals of bearing heavy burdens and pulling plows to repay past debts; we perform kṣamā for the sinful retribution in the destiny of animals of having no self-mastery and being chopped, stabbed, butchered, and slaughtered by others; we perform kṣamā for the sinful retribution in the destiny of animals of having no feet, two feet, four feet, or many feet; we perform kṣamā for the sinful retribution in the destiny of animals of having the interiors of one's fur, feathers, and scales gnawed and devoured by tiny insects. We perform kṣamā for all such immeasurable and boundless sinful retributions in the destiny of animals; today with utmost sincerity we namas and perform kṣamā.
