annadānaphalaṃ śrutvā prītosmi madhusūdana | bhojanasya vidhiṃ vaktuṃ devadeva tvamarhasi

jugupsitaṃ ca yaccānnaṃ rākṣasā eva bhuñjate | pāṇinā jalamuddhṛtya kuryādannaṃ pradakṣiṇam

Wikisource prints this as a single line; the Appendix prints the same single line (with a lacuna marked in its third word) and no second line, so nothing is restored.

यथा रसं न जानाति जिह्वा प्राणाहुतौ नृप । तथा समाहितः कुर्यात्प्राणाहुतिमतन्द्रितः ॥

yathā rasaṃ na jānāti jihvā prāṇāhutau nṛpa | tathā samāhitaḥ kuryātprāṇāhutimatandritaḥ

As the tongue does not taste any flavour during the offering to the breaths, O king, so should he make that offering, composed and unwearied.

Note on the text: Corrected प्रामाहुतौ → प्राणाहुतौ (misprint in Wikisource; ण dropped to म; critical-edition Appendix prāṇāhutau). Corrected प्राणाहुतिमतन्द्रिकतः → प्राणाहुतिमतन्द्रितः (misprint in Wikisource; stray क; critical-edition Appendix atandritaḥ). Not in the critical edition proper (vulgate Vaishnava-dharma section); found in Appendix I No. 4, lines 2328–2329 (printed inline as 14,096.015d@004_2328–2329).

ato'nyathā tu bhuñjāno brāhmaṇo jñānadurbalaḥ | tenānnenāsurānpretānrākṣasāṃstarpayiṣyati

But a Brahmin who eats otherwise, weak in knowledge, will with that food satisfy asuras, ghosts and rakshasas.

He should swallow morsels of the size of the mouth, one at a time. A morsel larger than the mouth is called his own leavings.

svamucchiṣṭaṃ tu yo bhuṅkte yo bhuṅkte muktabhojanam | cāndrāyaṇaṃ caretkṛcchraṃ prājāpatyamathāpi vā

One who eats his own leavings, or food left by another, should perform the Chandrayana, the Krichchhra, or else the Prajapatya penance.

Note on the text: Corrected चरेन्कृच्छ्रं → चरेत्कृच्छ्रं (misprint in Wikisource; न् for त्; critical-edition Appendix caret kṛcchraṃ). Not in the critical edition proper (vulgate Vaishnava-dharma section); found in Appendix I No. 4, lines 2338–2339 (printed inline as 14,096.015d@004_2338–2339).

स्त्रीपात्रभुङ्नरः पापः स्त्रीणामुच्छिष्टभुक्तथा । तया सह च यो भुङ्क्ते स भुङ्क्ते मद्यमेव हि । न तस्य निष्कृतिर्दृष्टा मुनिभिस्तत्वदर्शिभिः ॥

strīpātrabhuṅnaraḥ pāpaḥ strīṇāmucchiṣṭabhuktathā | tayā saha ca yo bhuṅkte sa bhuṅkte madyameva hi | na tasya niṣkṛtirdṛṣṭā munibhistatvadarśibhiḥ

The man who eats from a woman's vessel is a sinner, and so is he who eats women's leavings. He who eats together with her eats liquor itself; the sages who see the truth have found no atonement for him.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition (found in the vulgate recension only; not in Appendix I No. 4 either). These three lines have no counterpart in the Appendix, which passes from the penances of verse 15 straight to 'pibataḥ patite toye' (verse 17).

Verse 17 (14.109.17)

पिबतः पतिते तोये भोजने मुखनिस्सृते । अभोज्यं तद्विजानीयाद्भुक्त्वा चान्द्रायणं चरेत् ॥

pibataḥ patite toye bhojane mukhanissṛte | abhojyaṃ tadvijānīyādbhuktvā cāndrāyaṇaṃ caret

When water has fallen while one is drinking, or food has come out of the mouth, he should know that food to be unfit; one who eats it should perform the Chandrayana.

Verse 18 (14.109.18)

पीतशेषं तु तन्नाम न पेयं पाण्डुनन्दन । पिबेद्यदि हि तन्मोहाद्द्विजश्चान्द्रायणं चरेत् ॥

pītaśeṣaṃ tu tannāma na peyaṃ pāṇḍunandana | pibedyadi hi tanmohāddvijaścāndrāyaṇaṃ caret

What is left after drinking is not to be drunk again, O son of Pandu. If a twice-born drinks it through delusion, he should perform the Chandrayana.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition proper (vulgate Vaishnava-dharma section); found in Appendix I No. 4, lines 2342–2343 (printed inline as 14,096.015d@004_2342–2343).

पानीयानि पिबेद्येन तत्पात्रं द्विजसत्तमः । अनुच्छिष्टं भवेत्तावद्यावद्भूमौ न निक्षिपेत् ॥

pānīyāni pibedyena tatpātraṃ dvijasattamaḥ | anucchiṣṭaṃ bhavettāvadyāvadbhūmau na nikṣipet

The vessel from which, O best of the twice-born, one has drunk water remains free of leavings only so long as he does not set it down on the ground.

Note on the text: Corrected पिबेद्यते → पिबेद्येन (misprint in Wikisource; ते for न; critical-edition Appendix pibed yena). Not in the critical edition proper (vulgate Vaishnava-dharma section); found in Appendix I No. 4, lines 2344–2345 (printed inline as 14,096.015d@004_2344–2345).

मौनी वाऽप्यथवा भूमौ नावलोक्य दिशस्तथा । भुञ्जीत विधिवद्विप्रो न चोच्छिष्टं प्रदापयेत् ॥

maunī vā'pyathavā bhūmau nāvalokya diśastathā | bhuñjīta vidhivadvipro na cocchiṣṭaṃ pradāpayet

Whether silent or not, and not looking at the ground or around at the quarters, the Brahmin should eat according to rule, and should not give away his leavings.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition proper (vulgate Vaishnava-dharma section); found in Appendix I No. 4, lines 2346–2347 (printed inline as 14,096.015d@004_2346–2347). The page's first line (मौनी वाऽप्यथवा भूमौ नावलोक्य दिशस्तथा) differs from the Appendix's (maunī vāpy atha vāmaunī prahṛṣṭaḥ saṃyatendriyaḥ); kept as the base reading, being good Sanskrit.

Verse 21 (14.109.21)

सदा चात्यशनं नाद्यान्नातिहीनं च कर्हिचित् । यथाऽन्नेन व्यथा न स्यात्तथा भुञ्जीत नित्यशः ॥

sadā cātyaśanaṃ nādyānnātihīnaṃ ca karhicit | yathā'nnena vyathā na syāttathā bhuñjīta nityaśaḥ

उदक्यामपि चण्डालं श्वानं सूकरमेव वा । भुञ्जानो यदि वा पश्येत्तदन्नं च परित्यजेत् । भुञ्जानो ह्यत्यजन्मोहाद्द्विजश्चान्द्रायणं चरेत् ॥

udakyāmapi caṇḍālaṃ śvānaṃ sūkarameva vā | bhuñjāno yadi vā paśyettadannaṃ ca parityajet | bhuñjāno hyatyajanmohāddvijaścāndrāyaṇaṃ caret

If while eating he sees a woman in her courses, a Chandala, a dog or a pig, he should abandon that food. If through delusion he eats without abandoning it, the twice-born should perform the Chandrayana.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition proper (vulgate Vaishnava-dharma section); found in Appendix I No. 4, lines 2350–2352 (printed inline as 14,096.015d@004_2350–2352).

utthāya ca punaḥ spṛṣṭaṃ pādaspṛṣṭaṃ ca laṅghitam | annaṃ tadrākṣasaṃ vidyāttasmāttatparivarjayet

Food that has been touched again after he has risen, that has been touched by a foot, or stepped over, he should know to be rakshasa food; therefore he should avoid it.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition proper (vulgate Vaishnava-dharma section); found in Appendix I No. 4, lines 2355–2356 (printed inline as 14,096.015d@004_2355–2356).

Verse 25 (14.109.25)

राक्षसोच्छिष्टभुग्विप्रः सप्त पूर्वान्परानपि । नरके रौरवे घोर स पितॄन्पातयिष्यति ॥

rākṣasocchiṣṭabhugvipraḥ sapta pūrvānparānapi | narake raurave ghora sa pitṝnpātayiṣyati

He should rinse his mouth in the same vessel from which he has eaten. If he rises from his seat without rinsing, he should bathe at once; otherwise he remains impure.

The ancestors are to be known as the bulls, and the cows are the mothers of the world. When they are honoured, O king, the ancestors and the gods are honoured.

Note on the text: Corrected ज्ञेयो गावो → ज्ञेया गावो (misprint in Wikisource; ो for ा, to agree with the plural subject; critical-edition Appendix jñeyā gāvo). Not in the critical edition proper (vulgate Vaishnava-dharma section); found in Appendix I No. 4, lines 2364–2365 (printed inline as 14,096.015d@004_2364–2365).

One should give sesame, eat sesame, and touch sesame in the morning; one should say "sesame, sesame," for sesame seeds take away sin.

Verse 36 (14.109.36)

क्रीत्वा प्रतिगृहीत्वा वा न विक्रेया द्विजातिभिः । भोजनाभ्यञ्जनाद्दानाद्योन्यत्तु कुरुते तिलैः । कृमिर्भूत्वा श्वविष्ठायां पितृभिः सह मज्जति ॥

krītvā pratigṛhītvā vā na vikreyā dvijātibhiḥ | bhojanābhyañjanāddānādyonyattu kurute tilaiḥ | kṛmirbhūtvā śvaviṣṭhāyāṃ pitṛbhiḥ saha majjati

The twice-born must not sell sesame, whether bought or received as a gift. He who uses sesame for anything other than food, anointing and gifts becomes a worm in a dog's filth and sinks there with his ancestors.

Verse 37 (14.109.37)

तिलान्नपीडयेद्विप्रो यन्त्रचक्रे स्वयं नृप । पीडयन्हि द्विजो मोहान्नरकं याति रौरवम् ॥

tilānnapīḍayedvipro yantracakre svayaṃ nṛpa | pīḍayanhi dvijo mohānnarakaṃ yāti rauravam

A Brahmin should not himself crush sesame in a press, O king; a twice-born who crushes it out of folly goes to the Raurava hell.

Verse 38 (14.109.38)

इक्षुवंशोद्भवः सोमः सोमवंशोद्भवा द्विजाः । इक्षुं न पीडयेत्तस्मादिक्षुघात्यात्मघातकः ॥

ikṣuvaṃśodbhavaḥ somaḥ somavaṃśodbhavā dvijāḥ | ikṣuṃ na pīḍayettasmādikṣughātyātmaghātakaḥ

Soma is born of the stock of the sugarcane, and Brahmins are born of the stock of Soma. Therefore one should not crush sugarcane; the destroyer of cane destroys himself.

Verse 39 (14.109.39)

इक्षुदण्डसहस्राणामेकैकेन युधिष्ठिर । ब्रह्महत्यामवाप्नोति द्विजश्चेद्यन्त्रपीडकः । तस्मान्न पीडयेदिक्षुं यन्त्रचक्रे द्विजोत्तमः ॥

ikṣudaṇḍasahasrāṇāmekaikena yudhiṣṭhira | brahmahatyāmavāpnoti dvijaścedyantrapīḍakaḥ | tasmānna pīḍayedikṣuṃ yantracakre dvijottamaḥ

For every one of a thousand stalks of cane that a twice-born presses in a mill, O Yudhishthira, he incurs the guilt of killing a Brahmin. Therefore the best of the twice-born should not crush sugarcane in a press.
