5.41
"We disciples, from anādikāla down to the present day, having had this conscious mind, have constantly harbored cruelty and malice, lacking a compassionate heart. We have committed killings out of greed, killings out of anger, ignorance, and arrogance. We have devised evil expedients, taking vows to kill, making wishes to kill, and killing through incantations. We have breached lakes and ponds, burned mountains and wilds, hunted in the fields and caught fish, or set fires with the wind, flown falcons, and unleashed hounds, afflicting and harming all sentient beings of the six destinies. Sins such as these are limitless and boundless; today, with utter sincerity, we namas and perform kṣamā.
