The powder of fried barley and of other sorts of fried gain, mixed with curds, when stale with age, should not be taken, Rice boiled in Sugared milk, food mixed with the Tila seed, meat, and cakes, that have not been dedicated to the gods, should not be taken by Brahmanas, who live as householders. Having first pleased the gods, Rishis, guests, Pitris, and the tutelary deities, a Brahmana householder should then take his food. A householder by living thus in his own house becomes like a person of the mendicant order that has renounced the world.
