Unspecified (context not provided; likely a narrator/teacher voice within the Svargakhaṇḍa’s dharma/expiation discourse)
Concept: Specific dietary/ritual acts (single-meal regimen, honey/meat intake, new śrāddha, open salt use) entail prescribed purification: the Prajāpatya expiation.
Application: Keep commitments around food and ritual carefully; when you break a discipline, respond with a structured corrective practice rather than denial.
