Food From Wood

What be filled with fecund grown food So plentiful in this green wood, Who, for this burning belly's good Oh such a great sin incur would? ________________________________________________ From very olden days mankind seems to have been ceased with this question of vegetarian versus non-vegetarian food. This old Subhashita puts forward the case of plant-based food from aesthetic and non-violence point of view. Here is transliteration of the original verse translated here: svaćhanda vana-jātena shākena api prapūryate | asya dagdha-udarasya arthe kah kuryāt pātakam mahat || ____________________________________________________ Translations |02.11.13|
