Angiras Teaching
यस्तु प्रातस्तथा सायं भुञ्जानो नान्तरा पिबेत् । अहिंसानिरतो नित्यं जुह्मॉानो जातवेदसम्
yastu prātastathā sāyaṃ bhuñjāno nāntarā pibet | ahiṃsā-nirato nityaṃ juhvāno jātavedasam ||
アンギラスは言った。「だが、朝と夕のみに食し、その間は飲まぬ者、常にアヒンサー（不殺生・不害）に帰依する者、そして聖火アグニに定めの供物を絶えず捧げる者——そのように律する人は、抑制されたダルマの作法により生き、倫理の行いと日々の祭祀の務めとを結び合わせる。」
अंगियरा उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse commends a disciplined life combining restraint in consumption (eating only morning and evening, avoiding interim drinking), steadfast non-violence, and regular fire-offerings—presenting dharma as both ethical self-control and faithful daily duty.
Aṅgiras is describing the conduct of an exemplary practitioner: a person who follows regulated meals, practices ahiṃsā, and maintains the sacrificial fire through oblations to Agni (Jātavedas), as part of a broader instruction on righteous living.
