sanskrit

Thus, the section on various kinds of grains is concluded. Now, we will describe the section on meats. There are six categories of meats: those derived from water (Jaleshaya), from the wilderness (Anupa), from village areas (Gramya), from carnivorous animals (Kravyabhuj), those with single horns (Ekashapha), and those from the forest (Jangala). Among these categories, some are considered superior to others. These are further divided into two main types: Jangala and Anupa. Among the Jangala category, there are eight subcategories: Janghala, Vishkira, Pratuda, Guhashaya, Prasaha, Parnamriga, Bileshaya, and Gramya. Of these, Janghala and Vishkira are considered the most important.
