Kural - 330

Who lead a loathed life in bodies sorely pained,
Are men, the wise declare, by guilt of slaughter stained

Explanation
(The wise) will say that men of diseased bodies, who live in degradation and in poverty, are those who separated the life from the body of animals (in a former birth).
