अन्नं देवातिथिभ्योऽर्पितममृतमिदं चान्यथा मोघमन्नंयश्चात्मार्थं विधत्ते तदिह निगदितं मृत्युरूपं हि तस्य ।लोकेऽसौ केवलाघो भवति तनुभृतां केवलादी च यः स्या -त्त्यक्त्वा प्राणाग्निहोत्रं विधिवदनुदिनं योऽश्नुते सोऽपि मर्त्यः ॥ २० ॥
In plain words
Food shared first with the gods and guests becomes nectar; food kept for oneself bears no fruit. A meal prepared for private gratification is called death itself, and the solitary eater becomes an embodiment of wrongdoing. Whoever eats without the daily Prāṇāgnihotra, the offering into the fire of life-breath, remains bound to mortality.
Close to the Sanskrit
Food offered to the gods and to guests is nectar; otherwise food is fruitless. What one prepares only for oneself is declared here to take the form of death. One who eats alone becomes sheer wrongdoing among embodied beings. Whoever eats each day without duly performing Prāṇāgnihotra—the fire-offering to the vital breaths—remains mortal.
