According to the com : He took his food without allowing the food to graze the sides of his mouth, showing apathy to taste, just as a snake enters into its hole without touching the side of the hole. The com. adds अचर्वणात् i, e; to avoid the last possibility of enjoying the taste, he did not chew the food like a serpent. In आचारांग I. vii. 6.2, the monks are forbidden to roll their food from one side of the mouth to the other in order to enjoy its taste.
