PURPORT

In a civilization where God is conspicuously banished and there is no devotee warrior like Arjuna, the associates of the Age of Kali take advantage of this lawless kingdom and arrange for killing innocent animals like the cow in secluded slaughter houses. Such murderers of animals in secluded slaughter houses, stand to be condemned to death by the order of a pious king like Maharaj Parikshit. For a pious king like Maharaj Parikshit the culprit, who kills an animal in a secluded place, is equally punishable by death-penalty exactly like a murderer who kills an innocent child in a secluded place.
