forest. People should take advantage of this Krsna consciousness movement
and leave their troublesome life of killing. It is said that the killers of animals
should neither live nor die. If they live only to kill animals and enjoy women,
life is not very prosperous. And as soon as a killer dies, he enters the cycle

is to retire altogether from sinful activities and take up Krsna consciousness.
In this way one can become completely perfect and go back home, back
to Godhead.

the end of the week, he wants to retire from these activities and go to
some secluded place to rest. King Purafijana returned to his home because
he was very much fatigued from hunting animals in the forest. In this way
