One should renounce the killing of living beings. Whoever is inclined to kill even one of them, destroys countless living beings. || 210 || ...

One should renounce for life, the stalk of the lotus, the root of the Suran, the Tarbooz (Kalingad), Drona Pushpa, radish, ginger, neem flower, Ketaki flower, etc. Because the fruit of eating these is little, and the killing of many living beings is great. || 211 ||
One should avoid Mung, Urad, Chana, etc., which can be divided into two equal parts, called Dvidal. One should not eat Mung, Urad, Chana, etc., mixed with raw milk, raw curd, and buttermilk made from raw milk, because countless living beings reside in them. This is heard in the Agam. Similarly, one should not eat old Dvidal. The meaning of the word "Praayash" is that if Dvidal grains like Kulith, etc., have become black due to being kept for a long time, but no Sammoorshan Jivas are present in them, then there is no fault in eating them. Also, one should not eat Dvidal grains that have not been ground in a mill during the rainy season, because their dal has not been made. Because Ayurveda says that sprouts are born in these grains during the rainy season, and Sammoorshan Trasajivas are also born. This also implies that one should not eat those Dvidal grains in which sprouts have not grown during the rainy season, and one should not eat leafy vegetables during the rainy season, because many Bas-Sthavar Jivas are found in such vegetables during the rainy season. The fruit of eating these is also very little. || 212 || ...
The method of silence while eating. To protect pride and knowledge, humility is necessary.
Therefore, one should eat in silence, not by gestures of the hand, etc. || 213 ||
By maintaining silence, I will not ask for anything while eating - this way, the pride of the Aayachkatva-vrat is protected, and the humility of Shruta-gyan is achieved. Therefore, one should eat in silence. One should not ask for any food by gestures of the hand, etc. || 213 ||
