## Trivarnika Achar...
**197.**
Even in butter, groups of beings are constantly generated after two muhurtas. Meaning: After two muhurtas of churning butter from curd, infinite beings are generated in it, and then until it is heated, infinite beings are constantly generated and die in it. Therefore, those who fear violence, the righteous, should never eat butter. || 20 ||
**Night-Food and Water-Drinking Prohibition.**
Because it is the cause of the killing of ragi-jiva, one should abandon it. || 201 ||
Righteous men should abandon eating at night, just as they abandon alcohol and meat. Because there is more attachment in eating at night than in eating during the day. Where there is attachment, there is surely violence. The killing of beings is many times greater in cooking and eating at night than during the day. Eating at night causes many diseases like dropsy. Similarly, one should not drink unfiltered water or use it in any other way. Water is a drink. Therefore, all thin substances like drinking oil, ghee, milk, etc., should be filtered before use. || 201 ||
**At the End of the Muhurta.**
Even if there is a wound, the use of mango, ghee, etc., is also contaminated. || 202 ||
A man who has abandoned night-food should eat only after two ghadi have passed after sunrise in the first muhurta of the day, and should eat only when two ghadi remain before sunset in the last muhurta of the day. And for the sake of curing illness, the use of fruits like mango, chironji, banana, cinnamon, etc., and ghee, milk, sugarcane juice, etc., is also contaminated. Meaning: A man who has abandoned night-food should not eat before two ghadi have passed after sunrise, and should not eat before two ghadi remain before sunset. Otherwise, there is a fault in the abandonment of night-food. || 202 ||
**For the Sake of Non-Violence.**
For the sake of protecting the beings and purifying the eight fundamental virtues, a courageous man who is steadfast and does not waver from the twenty-two parishahas and various kinds of afflictions, should abandon food, drink, chewable, and lickable - these four types of food - with mind, speech, and body, for the rest of his life (until death). || 203 ||
