Educational Q&A
One should not satisfy oneself first; feeding children, elders, and those who serve in the household is a primary obligation. Neglecting them and eating first is treated as a serious breach of dharma with grave karmic consequences.
In Bhishma’s instruction on dharma (Anushasana Parva), he lays down a rule of conduct for household life: the vulnerable and dependents must be provided for before the householder eats, and failure to do so is condemned.
