The pious cut it and escape. The sinful can not cut it. He who does not injure other creatures in thought, word, and deed, and who never injures others by taking away their means of livelihood, is never injured by any crcature. Therefore, one should practise the vow of truth, be steadfastly devoted to the vow of truth, and should wish for nothing but the truth. Governing all his senses and regarding all creatures impartially, one should defeat Death with the help of Truth. Both Immortality and Death are in the body.
छित्त्वैनां सुकृतो यान्ति नैनां छिन्दन्ति दुष्कृतः। यो न हिंसति सत्त्वानि मनोवाक्कर्महेतुभिः॥ जीवितार्थापनयनैः प्राणिभिर्न स बुद्ध्यते। तस्मात् सत्यव्रताचारः सत्यव्रतपरायणः॥ सत्यकाम: समो दान्तः सत्येनैवान्तकं जयेत्। अमृतं चैव मृत्युश्च द्वयं देहे प्रतिष्ठितम्॥
