Outgrow. The tigerās ever-growing legions inhabit forests that seem to shrink. The intricate interlacing of the big cat beckons a planet of finite resources and growing populations. Where does it lead us? To the infinite interconnectedness of needs.
VyaĢsaās verse in MahaĢbhaĢrata captures it succinctly.
It reads:
nirvanoĢ vadhyateĢ vyaĢghroĢ nirvyaĢghramĢ chidyateĢ vanam tasmaĢdvyaĢghroĢ vanamĢ raksĢ£eĢdvanamĢ vyaĢghramĢ ca paĢlayeĢt.
Which translates to...
Do not cut down that forest with its tigers! Let not the tigers be driven from that forest! There can be no forest without tigers, and no tigers without a forest. The forest shelters the tigers and tigers guard the forest!
