Translation
Betapa banyak makhluk yang lahir dalam rahim yang amat halus, yang sebahagiannya hanya dapat diketahui melalui sangkaan dan penalaran. Bahkan dengan jatuhnya kelopak mata manusia sekalipun, bahu mereka boleh hancur—maka sampai sejauh manakah seseorang dapat mengelakkan kekerasan terhadap makhluk sedemikian?
