Death comes from folly, and Immortality is acquired by Truth. Transcending desire and anger, abstaining from injury, I shall adopt Truth and happily acquiring what is for my behoof avoid Death like an Immortal. Engaged in the Sacrifice that is formed by Peace, and employed also in the Sacrifice of Brahma, and controlling my senses, the Sacrifices I shall perform and those of speech, mind, and deeds, when the sun enters his northerly course. How can one like me celebrate an Animal Sacrifice which is full of cruelty.
