That wretched man who following the path of religious rites and sacrifices laid down in the Vedas, would kill a living creature from desire of eating its flesh, would certainly go to Hell. One should never eat meat of animals not dedicated in sacrifices and that are, therefore, killed uselessly, and that has not been offered to the gods and departed Manes with the help of the ordinances. There is not the least doubt that a person by eating such meat goes to Hell.
