Sanskrit Text

यथा काकश्च गृध्रश्च तथैवोपधिजीविनः ऊर्ध्वं देहविमोक्षान्ते भवन्त्येतासु योनिषु

English Translation

He, who promises to kill those persons of lost senses, should keep his promise. Such sinners are like the crow and the vulture who live by deceit. When their bodies are dissolved, they are born again as crows and vultures.
