过度饮食招致不健康,缩短寿命,并障碍天界之福;此为无功德之行,亦为世人所厌弃,故当远离。
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim at a Kāśī ghāṭ refuses excessive servings, choosing a modest portion; in contrast, a shadowed figure burdened by overeating appears as a cautionary vignette.
Moderation is dharma: bodily discipline supports longevity, merit (puṇya), and auspicious spiritual outcomes.
The instruction is embedded in Kāśī Khaṇḍa’s dharma-teachings associated with life in Kāśī (Vārāṇasī).
A general prohibition is given: avoid ati-bhojana (overeating).
