THE KURAL

316. When a man hath felt a pain for himself, let him take care that he inflicteth it not on others.

317. It is a great thing it thou injure not knowingly any man, at any time, and in any degree.

318. He who hath felt what pain meaneth to himself, how doth he bring himself to inflict it on others ?

319. If a man injureth his neighbour in the forenoon, evil will come to him in the afternoon of its own accord.

320. All evil recoileth on the head of the wrong-doer : they abstain therefore from wrong-doing who desire to be immune from ills.
