ब्राह्मणानुयात्रा—शौनकोपदेशः
Brāhmaṇas Follow into Exile and Śaunaka’s Instruction
विघसाशी भवेत् तस्मान्नित्यं चामृतभोजन: । विघसो भुक्तशेषं तु यज्ञशेषं तथामृतम्,अतः गृहस्थ मनुष्य प्रतिदिन विघस एवं अमृत भोजन करे। घरके सब लोगोंके भोजन कर लेनेपर जो अन्न शेष रह जाय उसे “विघस” कहते हैं तथा बलि-वैश्वदेवसे बचे हुए अन्नका नाम 'अमृत' है
vighasāśī bhavet tasmān nityaṃ cāmṛtabhojanaḥ | vighaso bhuktaśeṣaṃ tu yajñaśeṣaṃ tathāmṛtam ||
ਇਸ ਲਈ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਸਥ ਨੂੰ ਨਿੱਤ ‘ਵਿਘਸਾਸ਼ੀ’ ਅਤੇ ‘ਅਮ੍ਰਿਤਭੋਜੀ’ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ। ਘਰ ਦੇ ਸਭ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਖਾ ਲੈਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਜੋ ਅੰਨ ਬਚੇ, ਉਹ ‘ਵਿਘਸ’ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ; ਅਤੇ ਬਲੀ-ਵੈਸ਼ਵਦੇਵ ਆਦਿ ਯਜ੍ਞਕਰਮਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਜੋ ਅੰਨ ਬਚੇ, ਉਹ ‘ਅਮ੍ਰਿਤ’ ਕਹਲਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

Educational Q&A
A householder’s dharma is to prioritize others and ritual duty: feed dependents/guests first, offer the prescribed bali and vaiśvadeva, and only then eat what remains—treating such remainder as disciplined, sanctified sustenance.
Yudhiṣṭhira states a rule of conduct for householders, defining two kinds of ‘remainder’—vighasa (after people have eaten) and amṛta (after offerings)—and recommends that daily eating be aligned with these dharmic priorities.
