It is the essence of the Vedānta and bears high esoteric importance. [...] There is no other virtue equal to the mercy shown to living beings. Hence all men shall strenuously practise acts of mercy to living beings. If a single living being is protected it amounts to the protection of the three worlds. If that is killed (ghātita) it amounts to the killing of all others. Hence it is our duty to protect and abstain from killing others. [...]”.
