Chapter 17<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 17 Verse 9<\/a><\/p>\n yAthayAmam gatharasam pUthi paryushitham cha yath |<\/em> yAtha yAmam – stale (such food items) Those food items which are stale, have lost the natural taste, are stinking, having the taste changed due to having been held for a long time, which are remnants from the same container in which a person (other than AchAryas and learned elders) ate and which had not offered in yAgam [thiruvArAdhanam<\/a>], are dear to those who are having abundance of thamO guNam (ignorance).<\/p>\n ‘Dear to T\u0101masa-men is food which is stale, changed, stinking, and putrid; refuse and foul.'[1.

Gata-rasam<\/em> = changed or that which has lost its (original) natural taste. P\u016bti<\/em> = Stinking or that which emits a strong offensive smell. Paryushitam<\/em> = Putrid or corrupted into a different taste by long standing. Ucc\u1e25ishtam<\/em> = Refuse or leavings after food has been eaten by others except Gurus (=spiritual teachers, and other privileged (holy) persons). Amedhyam<\/em> = Foul, or that which is to be considered impure by not having been consecrated at a Yaj\u00f1a.<\/span><\/p>\n Such foods are dear to those who are Tamas-full.<\/span><\/p>\n Bhojana<\/em> = Food, because it is that which is eaten (bhujyate<\/em>). Tamas-food eaten breeds still Tamas. Hence those who have a care for themselves, ought to serve themselves with Satva-food, to promote Satva.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 17 Verse 11<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 17 << Chapter 17 Verse 9 SlOkam \u2013 Original yAthayAmam gatharasam pUthi paryushitham cha yath | uchchishtam api chAmEdhya\u1e41 bhOjanam thAmasapriyam || word-by-word meaning yAtha yAmam – stale gatha rasam – lost the natural taste pUthi – stinking paryushitham cha – having the taste … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-17","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6554"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16386,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6554\/revisions\/16386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
