If a Brahmana takes food which has been cooked by a Kshatriya, it diminishes his power; if lie takes the food supplied by effulgence; and if he takes the food supplied by a goldsmith or a woman who has neither husband nor children, it decreases his longevity.
राजान्नं तेज आदत्ते शूद्रानं ब्रह्मवर्चसम्। आयुः सुवर्णकारान्नमवीरायाश्च योषितः॥
