संरक्षणार्थं जन्तूनां रात्राव् अहनि वा सदा । शरीरस्य-अत्यये च-एव समीक्ष्य वसुधां चरेत् ॥
saṃrakṣaṇārthaṃ jantūnāṃ rātrāv ahani vā sadā | śarīrasya-atyaye ca-eva samīkṣya vasudhāṃ caret ||

In order to preserve living creatures, let him always by day and by night, even with pain to his body, walk, carefully scanning the ground.
