One should not abstain entirely from food. One should not eat too much. One should give up covetousness, and always seek company of the good. One should eat only so much as is necessary for keeping life. By acting thus one succeeds in properly governing the door represented by his stomach.
दलोलुपः साधुभिरागतः स्यात्। यात्रार्थमाहारमिहाददीत तथास्य स्याज्जाठरी द्वारगुप्तिः॥
