Varaha Purana 119.13: Adhyaya 119, Shloka 13
Ritual Regulations on Permissible Foods for Offering and Consumption
भागो ममास्ति तत्रापि पशूनां छागलस्य च ॥ माहिषं वर्जयेन्मह्यं क्षीरं दधि घृतं ततः ॥
bhāgo mamāsti tatrāpi paśūnāṁ chāgalasya ca || māhiṣaṁ varjayen mahyaṁ kṣīraṁ dadhi ghṛtaṁ tataḥ |
मेरा भी हिस्सा है वहाँ, जानवर के रूप में और बकरे का भी। लेकिन मेरी वजह से भैंस का माँस मत देना। उसके बदले दूध, दही और घी देना।
