Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment
दुष्टान्नामिषपानं च यदन्योन्यविरोधि च । गुरु चाप्यमितं भुद्धक्ते नातिजीर्णेडपि वा पुन:
duṣṭān nāmiṣapānaṃ ca yad anyonyavirodhi ca | guru cāpy amitaṃ bhunkte nātijīrṇe ’pi vā punaḥ ||
Sang Siddha berkata: Dia memakan makanan dan minuman yang tidak suci, bahkan daging dan bahan memabukkan; dia juga mencampurkan makanan yang sifatnya saling bertentangan. Ada kalanya dia mengambil makanan yang berat, dan itu pun berlebihan. Kadang-kadang, sebelum yang dimakan sempat hadam, dia makan lagi.
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse criticizes lack of restraint and discernment in consumption—taking impure items, mixing incompatible foods, overeating heavy meals, and eating again before digestion. Ethically, it points to self-control (dama) and mindful conduct (ācāra) as supports of dharma.
A Siddha is describing a person’s undisciplined habits, especially regarding food and drink, as part of a broader moral evaluation. The focus is on observable conduct that reveals inner disorder and ethical negligence.
