यज्ञार्थं पशुहिंसा या सा स्वर्ग्या नेतरा क्वचित् । त्यजेत्पर्युषितं सर्वमखंडस्नेह वर्जितम्
yajñārthaṃ paśuhiṃsā yā sā svargyā netarā kvacit | tyajetparyuṣitaṃ sarvamakhaṃḍasneha varjitam
祭祀(yajña)のために行われる獣の殺生は天に至らしめると言われるが、他の殺生は決してそうではない。すべての古くなった食物、また途切れぬ健やかな脂の潤いを欠くもの(正しい滋味を失ったもの)を捨てるべし。
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A small yajña scene contrasted with a hunter: on one side a regulated sacrificial altar with priests; on the other, ordinary killing shown as shadowy and rejected; alongside, a pilgrim discards stale food and chooses fresh sattvika fare.
Dharma distinguishes sanctioned sacrificial context from ordinary violence, and also insists on purity through fresh, proper food.
Kāśī is the implied sacred environment where refined dharma—both ethical and ritual—is to be observed.
A doctrinal rule about yajña-context violence, plus a practical rule to avoid stale/kept food and improperly prepared foods.
