Vishvamitra said There is sin in accepting (an unclean present) or in eating (unclean food). When one's life is in peril, there is no sin in accepting such a present or eating such food. Besides, the eating of unclean food, when it does not involve destruction and deception and when the act will excite only mild rebuke, is not a very important matter.
विश्वामित्र उवाच उपादने खादने चास्ति दोषः कार्यात्यये नित्यमत्रापवादः। यस्मिन् हिंसा नानृतं वाच्यलेझे ऽभक्ष्यक्रिया यत्र न तद्गरीयः॥
