guṇāśca ṣaṇ mita-bhuktaṁ bhajante ārogyam āyuśca sukhaṁ balaṁ ca |
anāvilaṁ cāsya bhaved apatyaṁ na cainam ādyūna iti kṣipanti || 192 ||
One that eats sparingly achieves these six, viz., health, long life, and happiness and strength;
one's progeny also become healthy, and one is never accused of gluttony.
ekaḥ svādu na bhuñjīta ekaścārthān na cintayet |
eko na gacched adhvānaṁ naikaḥ supteṣu jāgṛyāt || 193 ||
One should not partake of any gourmet food alone, nor alone reflect on concerns of profit, nor
alone go upon a journey, nor alone remain awake among sleeping companions.
mitaṁ bhuṅkte saṁvibhajyāśritebhyo mitaṁ svapity amitaṁ karma kṛtvā |
dadāty-amitreṣvapi yācitaḥ saṁstam ātmavantaṁ prajahaty anarthāḥ || 194 ||
One who eats moderately after sharing the food among dependents, who sleeps moderately
after working hard, and who, when asked gives freely even unto enemies, is self-disciplined,
and free from disappointment.
