Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued, we would need no zoos at all.
The desire tree is wood; the golden mount meru is motionless; the wish-fulfilling gem cintamani is just a stone; the sun is scorching; the moon is prone to wane; the boundless ocean is saline; the demigod of lust lost his body (due to shiva's wrath); bali maharaja, the son of diti, was born into a clan of demons; and kamadhenu (the cow of heaven) is a mere beast. O lord of the raghu dynasty! I cannot compare you to any one of these (taking their merits into account).
