Tīrtha-vaṃśa Upadeśa: Instruction on the Fruits of Sacred Waters
आज्याहुतिं विना चैव यत्किंचित् परिविष्यते । दुराचारैश्व यद् भुक्त तं भागं रक्षसां विदु:
ājyāhutiṁ vinā caiva yat kiñcit pariviṣyate | durācāraiś ca yad bhuktaṁ taṁ bhāgaṁ rakṣasāṁ viduḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。酥油(ājya)の供火を先に捧げずに供されるいかなる食の分も、また邪な行いの者が口にするいかなる食も——その分は羅刹(rākṣasa)の取り分であると知れ。
भीष्म उवाच
Food should be sanctified through a prior offering (ājyāhuti) and approached with righteous conduct; otherwise the act of eating is treated as spiritually tainted, metaphorically described as becoming the ‘share of the rākṣasas’.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction on dharma, he lays down a rule of proper household and ritual practice: serving and eating food without consecratory offering, or eating in a state of immoral conduct, is condemned and framed as feeding impure forces.
