Do not reject food, that shall be your vow. Water is food. Fire is the food-eater. Fire is fixed in water. Water is fixed in fire. So food is fixed in food. He who knows that food is fixed in food, stands forever, established well. He becomes the possessor of food and he becomes the eater of food. He becomes great in progency, in cattle wealth and in the splendor of Brahmana-hood. He becomes great in fame.
