Significance of Carnivorous animals

Carnivorous animal, as defined across various texts such as Purana, Jyotisha, Vyakarana, Dharmashastra, and Mahayana, encompasses a range of predatory creatures that primarily consume meat. These animals symbolize danger, violence, and the consequences of sin, particularly in the contexts of battle, ecological balance, and moral implications. From flesh-eating predators in forests to those associated with death and suffering, the concept highlights both their role in regulating populations and the spiritual ramifications of consuming meat in different religious frameworks.
