(Vritti leaf 328). In a feast the food is processed and enriched (samskrit) in many ways; for this reason also it could have been called sankhadi (samskriti).
There are chances of many ascetic-faults if one goes to a feast. Some of these are-- (1) Greed, triggered by gourmandism, to collect excessive quantity
of food. (2) Damage to health due to gluttony. (discussed in the next
aphorism.) (3) Getting jostled in the crowd, touch of women and insult of the
ascetic garb. (4) Chances of inspiring feeling of disrespect for ascetics in masses. (5) When a devotee comes to know that some ascetic will come at
the time of the feast, he will specially prepare, purchase, get on credit, snatch or confiscate food for the ascetic and bring it to the place of stay of the ascetic. There are all chances of these and many other ascetic misdemeanour.
