ब्राह्मणास्तात भुञ्जानास्त्रेताग्निं प्रीणयन्त्युत । तात! नियमपूर्वक ब्रह्मचर्यव्रतका पालन करनेवाले ब्राह्मण यदि प्रातःकाल घरमें भोजन करते हैं तो तीनों अग्नियोंको तृप्त कर देते हैं
brāhmaṇās tāta bhuñjānās tretāgniṁ prīṇayanti uta |
毗湿摩说道：“孩子啊，婆罗门若依正法而食，也就使三圣火（祭火三重）得以欢悦。因为持戒有度的婆罗门——尤其守持梵行（brahmacarya）并遵从诸般制约者——并不把饮食当作单纯享乐；当他们以规则与清净受用饮食时，此举便成了维系并取悦圣火的行持，并由此护持吠陀之法（dharma）的秩序。”

Educational Q&A
Food taken with restraint and according to prescribed discipline is not mere consumption; it becomes a dharmic act that supports the Vedic order—symbolized by ‘pleasing the three sacred fires.’
Bhīṣma, in his instruction on dharma, explains to his listener that properly regulated Brahmins, even while performing an ordinary act like eating, uphold ritual obligations and thereby ‘satisfy’ the triad of sacred fires.
