There is friendship ’twixt me and living beings with many feet.
Having thus set forth Cultivation of Friendship in the usual form, he next set it forth by way of prayer, reciting this stanza:
Let no living being without feet injure me!
Let no living being with two feet injure me!
Let no living being with four feet injure me!
Let no living being with many feet injure me!
Next, setting forth Cultivation of Friendship without respect of persons, he recited this stanza:
Let all creatures that live,—let all creatures that breathe,—
Let all creatures that exist,—one and all,—
Let all meet with prosperity!
