The ignorant Brahmana, by eating the food that is offered to him, destroys what he eats. The food also that is eaten destroys the eater. That is called food which is given away to a worthy man, in all other cases he who takes it, makes the donor's gift thrown away and the receiver is likewise ruined for his unduly taking it.
अदनविद्वान् हन्त्यन्नमद्यमानं च हन्ति तम्। तं चान्नं पाति यश्चान्नं स हन्ता हन्यतेऽबुधः॥
