This the learned Brahmana also said in the Kuru Court. The Balhikas, who have no feelings of revulsion, take their food in deep wooden vessels, earthen plates in vessels that have been licked by dogs and those that have been stained with pounded barely and other corn. They drink the milk of sheep, camels and asses and cat curds and other preparations of those various kinds of milk.
ब्राह्मणेन तथा प्रोक्तं विदुषा साधुसंसदि। काष्ठकुण्डेषु वाहीका मृन्मयेषु च भुञ्जते॥ सक्तुमद्यावलिप्तेषु श्वावलीढेषु निघृणाः। आविकं चौष्टिकं चैव क्षीरं गार्दभमेव च॥ तद्विकारांश्च वाहीका: खादन्ति च पिबन्ति च।
