One does not, however, commit any sin by eating flesh sanctified according to the ordinances to the Vedas. The Shruti says that animal were created for sacrifice. They wlio eat flesh in any other way are said to follow Rakshasa practice.
विधिना वेददृष्टेन तद्भुक्त्वेह न दुष्यति। यत्रार्थ पशवः सृष्टा इत्यपि श्रूयते श्रुतिः॥ अतोऽन्यथा प्रवृत्तानां राक्षसो विधिरुच्यते।
