svāgataṃ te


What is being practiced is ahiṁsā अहिंसा we know as non-injury
Consider this ( if one wished to take the conversation further):
We find in the upaniṣads ( in this case the īśavāsyopaniṣad) the notion of ātmahano janāḥ i.e. the person or creature ( janāḥ ) that is the killer (hano) of the Self or ātman.
