Shri Margadhyayanam is the friend of ego and pride, the abode of sin, the cause of the origin of sorrow, the destroyer of happiness, and a painful enemy for meditation. It torments even the learned like the planets. Therefore, how can auspicious meditation be possible for those who are engaged in activities like cooking, serving food, etc. and are absorbed in the same? They are unskilled in discerning other religious and non-religious doctrines, because they consider the pleasant, delicious food, dwelling, bedding, etc., which are actually passion-producing, as the cause of auspicious meditation. As they say, auspicious meditation is attained by the consumption of dear, delicious food, etc. They give the term "Kalkika" to meat and consider it innocent. They consider the acts of violence, etc. undertaken for the sake of the Buddhist Sangha as innocent. It is said that the ignorant, while refraining from meat, still consume it by giving it the name "Kalkika." They abandon the beginning (of violence) and do the same under the pretext of others, such as the Sangha, etc. But by merely changing the name, the fault is not removed. Just as calling the excessive heat of summer as "coolness" does not change its quality, or calling poison as nectar does not make it nectar, similarly, it should be known that this is the ineptitude of the Kapila doctrine followers, the Sankhyas, who expound the terms "manifestation" and "disappearance" for origination and destruction. The unrestrained Buddhists and others, who indulge in pleasant, delightful, and recommended food, remain far from the samadhi leading to the path of liberation due to the lack of restraint and impurity.
