No Murdering
1.Virtue does not-kill; committing
yields other sins.
2.Sharing, guarding, available bread,
succeeds collected wisdom.
3.Better not-slaying first,unique
truthfulness comes next.
4.Holy-books’ right path, unthinking
virtuous not-kill beings.
5.Among feared renounced, fearing
not-killing is supreme.
6.Devouring-death uncross life-days of
followers of not-killing.
7.Never kill to save
thy loose life.
8.Slaying some one gainful
wise earning scornful.
9.Analysts of slaying reward
all slayers worthless.
10.Wise recognize slayers by
sicky soreful look.
