To argue that meat is not food, the text cites verses on the food ordained for the world: honey, liquor, meat and bad food for those born in low wombs, while the food of the Chakravarti is kalyanaka and those dwelling in heaven enjoy nectar; nor is meat proper even for satisfying the ancestors, since, a verse says, those who attain union with the supreme being or reach heaven or a divine human state have no eating of meat or bad food there.

Why it is kept for review: Cosmological and ritual arguments about food; no medical instruction.
