G "Here (in my domain) no living beings are to be slaughtered or offered in sacrifice. Formerly, in the kitchen of Beloved-of-the-Gods, King
Piyadasi, hundreds of thousands of animals were killed every day to make curry. But now with the writing of this Dhamma edict only three
creatures, two peacocks and a deer are killed, and the deer not always. And in time, not even these three creatures will be killed."
