Praise of Ācāra as the Basis of Longevity, Fame, and Prosperity
न संनिकृष्टे मेधावी नाशुचेर्न च सत्सु च | प्रतिषिद्धान् नधर्मेषु भक्ष्यान् भुज्जीत पृष्ठत:
na saṁnikṛṣṭe medhāvī nāśucer na ca satsu ca | pratiṣiddhān adharmyeṣu bhakṣyān bhuñjīta pṛṣṭhataḥ ||
বুদ্ধিমান পুৰুষে অশুচি মানুহৰ একেবাৰে ওচৰত বহি বা সৎপুৰুষসকলৰ সন্মুখত বহি আহাৰ নকৰিব। আৰু ধৰ্মশাস্ত্ৰত নিষিদ্ধ, অধৰ্ম-সম্পৰ্কীয় খাদ্য পিঠি ঘূৰাই গোপনে হলেও নাখাব।

Educational Q&A
Maintain ethical and ritual integrity in eating: avoid dining in improper company or settings, and never consume scripturally forbidden foods—even secretly—since dharma concerns both action and intention.
In Bhishma’s instruction on dharma (Anushasana Parva), he lays down a rule of personal conduct regarding meals, emphasizing purity of association and strict avoidance of prohibited foods.
