Hearing that the very gods are persecuted and made to suffer the fruits of their deeds, and seeing the rows of Yama's standards and flags floating over the heads of all creatures, my hearts fails to derive pleasure from the various objects of pleasure with which it comes into contact. Seeing also that the Yatis depend for their maintenance upon alms obtained in course of their rounds of mendicancy. I have no respect for the religion of the Yatis as well. O my reverend guest, do you, helped by that religion which is founded upon the basis of intelligence and reason, make me observe a particular course of duties and observances.
