Vimokṣa-niścaya: Pañcaśikha’s Analysis of Aggregates, Guṇas, and Tyāga (मोक्षनिर्णयः)
मधु तैलं पय: सर्पिर्मासानि लवणं गुड: । धान्यानि फलमूलानि मृद्विकारा: सहाम्भसा,मधु, तेल, दूध, घी, मांस, लवण, गुड़, धान्य, फल-मूल और जल--ये सभी पृथ्वीके ही विकार हैं
madhu tailaṃ payaḥ sarpir māṃsāni lavaṇaṃ guḍaḥ | dhānyāni phalamūlāni mṛdvikārāḥ sahāmbhasā ||
ビーシュマは語った。「蜜、油、乳、ギー、肉、塩、粗糖（ジャグリー）、穀物、果実と根、そして水までも——これらはすべて大地の変化相にほかならぬ。この教えは、人が糧や富として尊ぶものが物質に根ざすことを示し、感官の快楽への執着ではなく、識別と節制を促すのである。」

Educational Q&A
All commonly valued foods and consumables are merely material transformations of the earth; recognizing their elemental nature supports non-attachment, moderation, and ethical self-control.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising on right understanding and conduct, illustrating through a catalog of foods that worldly enjoyments are earth-derived and thus not ultimate objects of clinging.
