Sesamum, rice, barley, beans, water, roots, fruits, vegetables, Sy\u00e2m\u00e2ka grain, millet, wild rice, kidney-beans, and wheat satisfy (the manes) for a month;\n2. The flesh of fishes (excepting those species that are forbidden), for two months;\n3. The flesh of the common deer, for three months;\n4. The flesh of sheep, for four months;\n5. The flesh of birds (of those kinds that may be eaten), for five months;\n6. The flesh of goats, for six months;\n7. The flesh of the spotted deer, for seven months;\n8. The flesh of the spotted antelope, for eight months;\n9. Beef, for nine months;\n10. Buffalo's meat, for ten months;\n11. The meat of a hornless goat, for eleven months;\n12. The milk of a cow, or preparations from it, for a year.\n13. On this subject there exists a stanza, which the manes utter:\n14. '(The pot-herb) K\u00e2las\u00e2ka (sacred basil), (the prawn) Mah\u00e2salka, and the flesh of the (crane called) V\u00e2rdhr\u00eenasa[1], (and of) a rhinoceros having no horn, is food which we always accept.'\n[LXXX. 1-14. M. III, 267-272; Y. I, 257-259; \u00c2past. II, 7, 16, 23-II, 7, 17, 3; II, 8, 18, 13; Gaut. XV, 19.\n14. 1 This is the first of the two interpretations which Nand. proposes of the term V\u00e2rdhr\u00eenasa. It is supported by \u00c2pastamba's {footnote p. 250} commentator, Haradatta, and by \u00c2pastamba himself (I, 5, 17, 36). Nand.'s second interpretation, 'an old white goat,' is probably wrong, although it is supported by the authority of Kull\u00fbka and Vig\u00f1\u00e2nesvara.]","title":"LXXX.","type":"page"}
