The lord said: One shall never take food in a broken pot, in the open street, and in the presence of fallen people. One shall not take food partly consumed by a Śūdra nor shall one take cooked rice along with infants. One shall take in only pure food which is unctuous, emollient, consecrated and inspired with mantras. While taking food one shall remember that it is Śiva who eats. He shall keep silent and concentrated.
