ग्रीवायां प्रतिसक्तं च कालपाशं न पश्यसि | स भारस्सौम्य भर्तव्यो यो नरं नावसादयेत् || ३-५०-१७

तदन्नमपि भोक्तव्यं जीर्यते यदनामयम् | यत्कृत्वा न भवेद्धर्मो न कीर्तिर्न यशो भुवि || ३-५०-१८
One should eat only that wholesome food which can be easily digested. Who will do such a deed which cannot beget dharma, fame or glory in the world? [3-50-18]
