Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)
हत्वा लाभः श्रेय एवाव्ययं स्या;त्सद्यो लाभो बलवद्भिः प्रशस्तः । कालाल्लाभो यस्तु सद्यो भवेत; हते श्रेयः कुत्सिते त्वीदृशे स्यात् ॥
English Scholarly Translation
The fowler replied Let us acquire great and inexhaustible merit in the next worlds by destroying (this creature), as a man gains great merit, and confers it on his victim as well, by sacrifice upon the altar! Merit is won by killing an enemy: by killing this despicable creature, you will acquire great and true merit in the next world.
