Prāyaścitta-vidhāna: Tapas, Dāna, Vrata, and Proportional Expiation (प्रायश्चित्तविधानम्)
अपेयाश्षाप्यभ क्ष्याक्ष ब्राह्मणैर्गुहमेधिभि: । “खीर, खिचड़ी, फलका गूदा और पूए यदि देवताके उद्देश्यसे न बनाये गये हों तो गृहस्थ ब्राह्मणोंके लिये खाने-पीने योग्य नहीं हैं
apeyāḥ śāpyabha-kṣyākṣā brāhmaṇair gṛha-medhibhiḥ | kṣīra-khicāḍī-phalakā-gūda-pūā yadi devatā-uddeśyena na kṛtāḥ, na gṛhastha-brāhmaṇānāṃ bhojya-peyāḥ ||
毗耶娑说道:对于居家而住的婆罗门而言,若非以诸天为念而制备,则有些饮食并不适宜受用。诸如乳制甜食(kṣīra)、杂豆饭(khicṛī)、果肉甜点或果饼,以及油炸甜饼(pūā)——若非为供献,或不具神圣之意而作,便当视为不当食饮。其旨在明示:居士之食不唯随口欲,更须受仪轨与供献之戒律所摄;唯当与法(dharma)相应,并怀对神明之敬,食物方成正当。
व्यास उवाच
A householder Brahmin’s eating is regulated by dharma: foods become proper when prepared with sacred intention—especially as offerings or with the gods in view—rather than merely for personal enjoyment.
Vyāsa is laying down a normative rule within a dharma-discussion: he lists certain common dishes and states that, for household Brahmins, they are not to be consumed if they were not prepared for a divine purpose (i.e., not connected to offering/ritual intent).
