जो भोजन अधपका, रसरहित, दुर्गन्धित, बासी और उच्छिष्ट है तथा जो महान् अपवित्र भी है, वह तामस मनुष्यको प्रिय होता है। अनुभव तब स्पष्ट होता है जब उसे किसी एक घटना का आकस्मिक संयोग न मानकर एक नियम की तरह देखा जाए। यह पंक्ति उसी नियम को इस प्रसंग में रखती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
