Many persons living on flesh, either lying in ambush, or openly catch and pierce by means of net, noose and trap, many a deer, terrified and trusted, taking to their heels or quarrelling with their companions, careful or careless. They are not to blame in this and I do not cherish, O best of monkeys, any mortification or ire for this.
न मे तत्र मनस्तापो न मन्युहरिपुंगव। बागुराभिश्च पाशैश्च कुटैश्च विविधैर्नराः॥ प्रतिच्छन्नाश्च दृश्याश्च गृह्णन्ति सुवहन मृगान्। प्रधावितान् वा वित्रस्तान् विस्त्रब्दानतिविष्टितान्॥
