Shatanand adds that it is unsuitable for a Tyagi to prepare food - it should really be begged. However they may prepare such food for offering to God. God has said, 'Those (Tyagis) who prepare food for themselves prepare sin for themselves - and thus are consumed by sin.' Lord Dattatreya has said, 'Munis should beg for food from Grihastas, without being troublesome to them. By eating such food, the sins of the Grihasta are destroyed.' Thus Grihastas should readily offer Bhiksha to Sadhus.
