(सप्तान्नब्राह्मणं वा संवर्गविद्याब्राह्मणम्) यत्सप्तान्नानि मेधया तपसाजनयत्पिता ।एकमस्य साधारणं द्वे देवानभाजयत् ।त्रीण्यात्मनेऽकुरुत पशुभ्य एकं प्रायच्छत् ।तस्मिन् सर्वं प्रतिष्ठितं यच्च प्राणिति यच्च न ।कस्मात्तानि न क्षीयन्ते अद्यमानानि सर्वदा ।यो वै तामक्षितिं वेद सोऽन्नमत्ति प्रतीकेन ।स देवानपिगच्छति स ऊऋजमुपजीवति ।इति श्लोकाः ॥बृह. १,५.१ ॥
In plain words
"The seven kinds of food that the father brought forth by understanding and austerity — one of them is common to all; two he apportioned to the gods; three he made for himself; and one he gave to the animals. On it rests everything, whatever breathes and whatever does not. Why do they not fail, though they are eaten always? He who knows this imperishability eats food with his face; he goes to the gods and lives upon strength." So run the verses.
