Prahlāda–Indra Saṃvāda: Kartṛtva (Agency) and Svabhāva (Nature) in the Causation of Karma
कणकुल्माषपिण्याकशाकयावकसक्तव: | तथा मूलफल भैक्ष्यं पर्यायेणोपयोजयेत्
kaṇakulmāṣapiṇyākaśākayāvakasa ktavaḥ | tathā mūlaphala-bhaikṣyaṁ paryāyeṇopayojayet ||
毗湿摩说道：瑜伽行者当以乞食所得的朴素食物维持生命，依次轮换而受用——如谷物、豆类、油饼渣、叶菜、青稞（大麦）制品、炒面粉（sattu），以及根茎与果实等。其伦理旨趣在于节制、不纵欲，并以不贪不择之心安于所得。

Educational Q&A
A yogin should live with disciplined simplicity, taking whatever food is obtained by alms without preference, and using different simple items in rotation—cultivating contentment, non-craving, and steadiness of practice.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and the ascetic/yogic path, Bhishma advises the listener on practical conduct for a yogin—specifically, how to maintain the body through modest alms-food while avoiding indulgence and attachment.
