Sanskrit Original
प्रतिषिद्धान्नधर्मेषु भक्ष्यान् भुञ्जीत पृष्ठतः॥ पिप्पलं च वटं चैव शणशाकं तथैव च। उदुम्बरं न खादेच्च भवार्थी पुरुषोत्तमः॥ न पाणौ लवणं विद्वान् प्राश्नीयान्न च रात्रिषु।

The fruits of the Ficus religiosa and the Ficus Bengalensis as also the leaves of the Crotolaria Juncea, and the fruits of the Ficus glomerata, should never be eaten by one who seeks his own good. The flesh of goats, of kine, and the peacock, should never be eaten. One should also abstain from dried flesh and all flesh that is stale. The intelligent man should never eat any salt, taking it up with his hand.
