The translation tells that in Ujjayini a king named Prishadan, transgressing discipline, killed a cow for nothing; falling from here he was born in heaven as the sun and was immersed in pleasures, and then that cruel one spread violence openly among men fond of low deeds, after which people on earth, wishing for sensual pleasures, offer animals and the like in sacrifice. Those who do not give up this cruel deed incur many faults, faults destroy the self, and in the absence of merit many painful diseases arise from the faults or sins of former births, and painful calamities grow; then the greatly famous Brahmadeva taught living beings the excellent science to establish peace among them.
Why it is kept for review: Narrative on the origin of disease and of medical science, used in the argument against killing; the Sanskrit on PDF 684 (T29) names Avanti and Divodasa where the translation has Ujjayini and Brahmadeva.
