The powder of fried barley and of other sorts of fried gain, mixed with curds, when stale with age, should not be taken, Rice boiled in Sugared milk, food mixed with the Tila seed, meat, and cakes, that have not been dedicated to the gods, should not be taken by Brahmanas, who live as householders. Having first pleased the gods, Rishis, guests, Pitris, and the tutelary deities, a Brahmana householder should then take his food. A householder by living thus in his own house becomes like a person of the mendicant order that has renounced the world.
सक्तधानाकरम्भाणां नोपभोग्याश्चिरस्थिताः। पायसं कृसरं मांसमपूपाश्च वृथाकृताः॥ अपेयाश्चाप्यभक्ष्याश्च ब्राह्मणैर्गृहमेधिभिः। देवानृषीन् मनुष्यांश्च पितॄन् गृह्याश्च देवताः॥ पूजयित्वा ततः पश्चाद् गृहस्थो भोक्तुमर्हति। यथा प्रव्रजितो भिक्षुस्तथैव स्वे गृहे वसेत्॥
