an5.99:1.1 “Mendicants, toward evening the lion, king of beasts, emerges from his den,
an5.99:1.2 yawns,
an5.99:1.3 surveys the four quarters,
an5.99:1.4 and roars his lion’s roar three times.
an5.99:1.5 Then he sets out on the hunt.
an5.99:1.6 If he strikes an elephant, he does it carefully, not carelessly.
an5.99:1.7 If he strikes a buffalo …
an5.99:1.8 a cow …
an5.99:1.9 a leopard …
an5.99:1.10 or any smaller creatures—even a hare or a cat—he does it carefully, not carelessly.
an5.99:1.11 Why is that?
an5.99:1.12 Thinking: ‘May I not lose my way.’
