In plain words
One must never reject food; that is the sacred vow. Water is indeed food, and fire is the consumer of food. Fire is established within water, and water is established within fire. Thus, food is established within food. Whoever realizes this truth of food being established in food becomes firmly established. Such a person becomes rich in food, a consumer of food, and grows great—great in offspring, in cattle, in the radiance of sacred knowledge, and great in renown.
