享用祭祀餘食的善人，得以從一切罪惡中解脫。然而，那些為己烹煮的惡人，他們只會招致罪業。
By becoming partakers of the remembers of sacrifices, they become freed from all sins. But the unholy persons who cook for themselves, they incur sin.
那些在履行五大祭祀（MahaYajnas）後享用餘食的人，便能從日常生活中無意間造成的殺生之罪中解脫。而那些僅為滿足自身口腹之欲而烹煮食物的人，則會招致罪業。五大祭祀包括對天神、梵天（或聖賢）、祖先、人類（款待賓客與飢者）以及眾生（餵養動物）的奉獻。
