________________ Verse 86 यदनिष्टं तव्रतयेद्यच्चानुपसेव्यमेतदपि जह्यात् । अभिसन्धिकृता विरतिर्विषयाद्योग्याव्रतं भवति ॥८६॥ सामान्यार्थ - जो वस्तु अनिष्ट-अहितकर हो उसको छोड़ें और जो सेवन करने के योग्य न हो वह भी छोड़ें, क्योंकि योग्य विषय से अभिप्रायपूर्वक की हुई निवृत्ति व्रत होती है। Vow should be taken not to consume victuals which although not forbidden but are unsuitable for consumption (particular to each individual), and those which are not worth the consumption; only intentional abstention from an object of sense-indulgence is called a vow (vrata). EXPLANATORY NOTE Eatables which although may not have been forbidden but are unsuitable for any reason, like being deleterious to health, need to be given up by a votary. Things, like cow-urine and milk of shecamel, which are considered unsuitable for consumption in refined cultures should also be left out from the individual's list of consumables, under a vow. Such a resolve to renounce even those things which one does not consume normally will augment the householder's small vow of ahimsā, the foundation of all vows. ........................ 139
