वासरे च रजन्यां च यः खादन्नेव तिष्ठति । श्रृङ्गपुच्छ परिभृष्टः स्पष्टं स पशुरेव हि ॥ ६२ ॥ Meaning: He, who goes on eating, day and night, is verily an animal, though devoid of horns and tail.
अहो मुखेऽवसाने च यो द्वे द्वे घटिके त्यजन् । निशाभोजनदोषज्ञो ऽश्नात्यसौ पुण्यभाजनम् ॥६३॥
Meaning: He, who knows the faults and vices attached to the night-meal, takes his dinner two ghatikas (a measure of time) after sunrise and two ghatikas before sunset, becomes the object of good luck.
प्रकृत्वा नियमं दोषा भोजनाद्दिनभोज्यपि । फलं भवेन्न निर्व्याजं न वृद्धिर्भाषितं विना ॥ ६४ ॥ Meaning: If one does not take meal at night and takes always by day, even then he does not get moral benefit (Punya) if he has not taken the vow (not to take meal at night).
ते वासरं परित्यज्य रजन्यामेव भुञ्जते ।
ते परित्यज्य माणिक्यं काचमाददते जडाः ||६५ ||

वासरे सति ये श्रेयस्काम्यया निशि भुञ्जते । ते वपन्त्यूषर क्षेत्रे शालीन् सत्यपि पल्वले ॥६६ || Meaning: Those who eat during night instead of day, are like those ignorants who accept a piece of glass in exchange of a ruby.
..
With a desire for benefits, those who eat at night instead of day are like those who sow the seeds in salty soil inspite of the availability of good and watered soil.
