Bhagavai 3:4:191-192
-: 127 :
blood. An un-deceitful ascetic intakes non-nourishing food and drink repeatedly and does not vomit or purge them. His bones and bone-marrows become weak (and thin), his flesh and blood become thick, and the gross food material that he intakes is transformed, for instance, into stool, urine, phlegm, snot, vomit, bile, pus and blood. For that reason, O Gautama! it has been said that the deceitful ascetic exercises protean power, the non-deceitful does not.
Bhāsya 1. Bone and bone-marrow becomes stout (bulky)
In the present dialogue, the process of exercising protean power has been shown. The bone and the bone-marrow are both important factors in protean action. The power of protean action is earned in them. The repeated intake of oily food and vomiting after the intake is the process of oiling the bone and bone-marrow. By this process both bone and bone-marrow becomes taught while flesh and blood became weak. The remaining food augment the power of the sense-organs.' 2. Gross food material ...... pus and blood
Incidentally, there is description of the un-nourishing food which is transformed into stool etc. in larger quantity. Here the nourishment of bone, bone-marrow and sense-organs does not take place in sufficient measure.2
