Text 12] Attack by Candavega on the City of Purarijana 1265
Those who are involved in the mode of ignorance manufacture religious

irreligion in the name of religion. They claim an ordinary human being to
be God and recommend meat-eating for everyone, including so-called
sannyasis.

PURPORT
In this verse the words priya-yositam and apriyah are very significant.
The word yosit means woman, and priya means dear or pleasing. Death
is not very much welcome for those who are too much attached to
material enjoyment, which culminates in sex. There is an instructive story
in this connection. Once when a saintly person was passing on his way, he
met a prince, the son of a king, and he blessed him, saying, ‘““My dear
