Prāyaścitta-vidhāna: Tapas, Dāna, Vrata, and Proportional Expiation (प्रायश्चित्तविधानम्)
सुरानुगतमुच्छिष्टमभोज्यं शेषितं च यत् । “बायें हाथसे लाया अथवा परोसा गया अन्न, बासी भात, शराब मिला हुआ, जूठा और घरवालोंको न देकर अपने लिये बचाया हुआ अन्न भी अखाद्य ही है
surānugatam ucchiṣṭam abhojyaṁ śeṣitaṁ ca yat |
Sinabi ni Vyāsa: Ang pagkaing nadungisan ng alak o anumang nakalalasing, ang pagkaing tira o marumi (ucchiṣṭa), at ang anumang pagkaing itinabi para sa sarili matapos mapagsilbihan ang iba—ang gayong pagkain ay dapat ituring na hindi nararapat kainin. Itinatampok ng aral ang kalinisan, pagpipigil-sa-sarili, at ang asal na huwag unahin ang sariling pagkain kaysa sa sambahayan o mga umaasa sa iyo.

Educational Q&A
One should avoid food that is ritually/ethically impure—especially food tainted by intoxicants, leftovers/defiled remnants, and food selfishly reserved for oneself before serving others—because right conduct (dharma) includes purity, restraint, and consideration for dependents.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and proper conduct, Vyāsa enumerates categories of food deemed unfit to eat, using dietary discipline as a practical expression of ethical living.
