यातयामं गतरसं पूति पर्युषितं च यत् | उच्छिष्टमपि चामेध्यं भोजनं तामसप्रियम्
yātayāmaṃ gatarasaṃ pūti paryuṣitaṃ ca yat . ucchiṣṭamapi cāmedhyaṃ bhojanaṃ tāmasapriyam
未妥善烹煮、缺乏精华、腐败变质、隔夜的食物，以及残羹剩饭和不洁净、不宜祭祀的食物，为惰性（塔马斯）之人所喜爱。
Food which is not properly cooked, lacking in essence, putrid and stale, and even ort and that which is unfit for sacrifice, is dear to one possessed of tamas.
大麻（Ganja）、巴杭（Bhang）、鸦片、可卡因、查拉斯（Charas）、昌杜（Chandoo），以及所有变质腐烂的物品，都是惰性（塔马斯）的。“यातयामम्”（Yātayāmam）意为变质的，字面意思是三小时前烹制的。“यातयामम्”和“गतरसम्”（Gatarasam）意思相同。“पर्युषितम्”（Paryuṣitam）意为腐烂的，指隔夜的熟食。“उच्छिष्टम्”（Ucchiṣṭam）指餐后盘中剩余的食物。具有惰性本性的人会吃前一天烹制的食物。他们也喜欢半生不熟或烧焦的食物。他们和家人会坐在一起，从同一个盘子里吃被孩子们弄得一团糟的食物。惰性之人所吃的食物是陈旧、干涩、无汁、未熟或过度烹煮的。他们直到食物开始腐烂发酵才觉得美味。他们食用被禁止的食物和饮料，例如酒类、发酵棕榈酒等。他们是具有魔性倾向的可怕之人。
