ॐ गं गणपतये नम:।अक्षरं परमं ब्रह्म ज्योतीरूपं सनातनम्।
निराकारं स्वेच्छामयमनन्तजम्॥
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि।
[श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता 2.47]
भक्ष्य पदार्थों में माँस के सेवन में दोष, वेद विहित हिंसा-अहिंसा, ज्ञान, तप, अग्नि आदि बारह शुद्धिकारक पदार्थ, अर्थ शुद्धि-ईमानदारी से धन कमाना-सबसे बड़ी शुद्धि, देह के बारह मल तथा स्त्री-पुरुष के सम्बन्धों का आदर्श रूप।
श्रुत्वैतानृषयो धर्मान्स्नातकस्य यथोदितान्।
इदमूचुर्महात्मानमनलप्रभवं भृगुम्॥5.1॥
ऋषियों ने स्नातक के यथोक्त धर्म सुनकर अग्नि से उत्पन्न हुए महात्मा भृगु से ये कहा :-
After listening to the Dharm-duties of the scholar-graduate, the sages said this to the great soul Bhragu who was born out of Agni-fire.
एवं यथोक्तं विप्राणां स्वधर्ममनुतिष्ठताम्।
कथं मृत्युः प्रभवति वेदशास्त्रविदां प्रभो॥5.2॥
इस प्रकार यथोक्त रीति से अपने धर्म में रत रहने वाले वेद-शास्त्रज्ञ ब्राह्मणों की मृत्यु कैसे होती है ?
The sages desired to know the manner in which the Brahmns, learned in Veds-scriptures and who were busy with their duties, die having completed their life span.
स तानुवाच धर्मात्मा महर्षीन् मानवो भृगुः।
श्रूयतां येन दोषेण मृत्युर्विप्रान् जिघांसति॥5.3॥
मनु के पुत्र धर्मात्मा भृगु जी ने उन महर्षियों से कहा :- जिस दोष से मृत्यु, ब्राह्मणों को मारने की इच्छा करती है, वह सुनिये।
Manu's son virtuous sage Bhragu asked the great sages to listen to the defect-drawback, weaknesses due to which the death was caused to the learned Brahmns.
अनभ्यासेन वेदानामाचारस्य च वर्जनात्।
आलस्यादन्नदोषाच्च मृत्युर्विप्राञ्जिघांसति॥5.4॥
वेदों का अभ्यास न करने से, अपने आचार को छोड़ देने से, आलस्य करने से और दूषित अन्न खाने से मृत्यु ब्राह्मणों को मारने की इच्छा करती है।
The Brahmn invite untimely death by neglecting the study-practice of Veds, deviating from the conduct meant for the Brahmns described in scriptures, becoming lazy and eating contaminated, stale, unhealthy food.
Death is imminent, but life span is increased by adopting suitable eating habits, exercise, performing Yog.
लशुनं गृञ्जनं चैव पलाण्डुं कवकानि च।
अभक्ष्याणि द्विजातीनाममेध्यप्रभवाणि च॥5.5॥
लहसुन, गाजर, प्याज और गोबर छत्ता तथा अशुद्ध (माँस, मछली, अंडा; विष्ठा इत्यादि से होने वाले) पदार्थ, द्विजातियों के लिये अखाद्य हैं।
Eating of Garlic, leeks and onions, mushrooms, meat, fish & eggs and all plants which springing from impure substances like compost, rotten meat etc. are prohibited for Brahmns.
All plants have medicinal value-properties. If one has to take something as medicine its allowed. during emergency there is no restriction. Regular use of these things is definitely harmful for every one. Ayur Ved is the most advanced & developed medical science which can cure all ailments except death.

बगुला, बलाक, द्रोणकाक, खञ्जन, मछली खाने वाला, जलजीव मगर आदि, ग्राम्य-शूकर और सब प्रकार की मछलियाँ न खायें।
Wader, crane, the raven, the wagtail-a bird, fish eater, crocodile, village-pigs, and all kinds of fishes should not be eaten.
The village pig eats human excreta and the low caste-origin people eat it. Now a days, even the well known meat suppliers supply the pig meat by labelling as a farm product like Essax Farm.
यो यस्य मांसमश्नाति स तन्मांसाद उच्यते।
मत्स्यादः सर्वमांसादस्तस्मामत्स्यान्विवर्जयेत्॥5.15॥
जो जिसके माँस को खाता है, वो उसका माँस खाने वाला कहलाता है जो मछली खाता है वो सभी को खाने वाला होता है, इसलिए मछली न खायें।
One who eats the flesh of an animal since he will be labelled-called the eater of the flesh of that particular creature-species, he who eats fish is an eater of every kind of flesh.
Water from the drains move to rivers, which carries it to the ocean. All sorts of dead bodies flow in rivers, drains and the ocean. They might be contaminated with deadly germs, virus, bacteria, fungus, microbes. As a matter of fact the Yamuna river flowing through Delhi carries deadliest carcasses and the sewer waste eaten by the fish in turn.
To be on safe side one should use only that food which is grown with the help of well water. Yamuna's contaminated water is used for farming. In Merrut vegetables are grown with the sewer water. One has seen farmers washing reddish in sewer water before bringing them to market for selling. The government is promoting the use of compost for farming, which is extremely harmful and dangerous.
Millions of people die after consuming pig, cow, fish and bird meat every year. These birds & animals eat all sorts of excreta, worms, insects and become the carrier of parasites, germs, viruses etc.
पाठीनरोहितावाद्यौ नियुक्तौ हव्यकव्ययोः।
राजीवान्सिंहतुण्डांश्च सशल्कांश्चैव सर्वशः॥5.16॥
पाठीन, बुआरी और रोहित (रोहू) मछली हव्य-कव्य के लिये प्रशस्त कही गई है। राजीव, सिंह तुण्ड और चायते वाली सब मछलियाँ खाद्य हैं (माँसाहारियों-राक्षसों के लिये, ब्राह्मणों के लिये नहीं)।
Three varieties of fish viz. Pateen, Buari and Rohit (Rohu, Labeo) Rohita are prescribed for offerings. Fish with Rajeev, Singh Tund and Chayte may be eaten without hesitation.
There is no doubt that eating of meat, eggs and fish is dangerous. Its a second choice when no food is available and one has to survive during emergency. Scriptures have permitted consumption of meat for those who may remain attached to piousity, virtues, righteousness for the taste of meat. Had it not been so, they would have behaved like demons, beasts, Dracula, Satan.
Rig Ved prohibits sacrifice of animals, birds, humans.[ऋग्वेद 5.51.12]
It asks the ruler to extradite-expel the meat eaters from the kingdom.[ऋग्वेद 8.101.15]
Atharv Ved desires the protection of animals.[अथर्ववेद 19.48.5].
It asks for the punishment to the violent.[अथर्ववेद 8.3.16]
Yajur Ved forbade killing of any organism and teaches non violence. [यजुर्वेद 12.32, 16.3]
Bhagwan Ram was a pure vegetarian.[सुंदर कांड स्कन्द 36 चौपाई 41]
Meat, fish, eggs are not meant for humans. The formation of the teeth of humans clearly shows that they are different from cannibals-canine animals. The length of cannibals intestine is 20 feet as compared to that of herbivorous and humans. The length of the intestine of herbivorous & humans is just 14 feet. Animals roam 40 to 120 kilometres in a day, consume red meat; while humans eat cooked meat and do not walk at all. Animals and humans both suffer from common disease. Animals are carriers of diseases, worms, germs, virus, bacteria, fungus, protozoan’s etc. They are found to spread brain fever, flue, plague chicken pox etc. Eating Beef or Pork invite infestation by parasites-worms.
शुष्क मांस का सेवन :- शुष्क यानी सूखे हुए मांस का सेवन करने से भी मनुष्यों की आयु कम होती है। सूखे मांस से यहां तात्पर्य है बासी या कुछ दिन पुराना मांस। जब मांस कुछ दिन पुराना हो जाता है तो वह सूख जाता है और उस पर कई प्रकार के खतरनाक बैक्टीरिया व वायरसों का संक्रमण हो जाता है। जब कोई व्यक्ति यह मांस खाता है तो मांस के साथ बैक्टीरिया तथा वायरस भी उसके पेट में चले जाते हैं और कई प्रकार के रोग उत्पन्न करते हैं। ये रोग मनुष्य की आयु कम करते हैं।

अकेले चलने और रहने वाले सर्पादि जीवों को, भक्ष्यों में कहे वे पक्षी जो परिचित न हों और पाँच नखवाले प्राणियों को न खाय।
One should not eat the animals-organism which live alone like serpents, snakes, the birds which are unfit for eating and the animals like humans having five claws (nails, fingers, toes).

श्वाविधं शल्यकं गोधां खड्गकूर्मशशांस्तथा।
भक्ष्यान् पञ्चनखेष्वाहुरनुष्ट्रांश्चैकतोदतः॥5.18॥
पञ्चनखियों सेह, साही, गोह, गेंडा, कछुआ और खरहा तथा एक खुर और दाँत वाले पशुओं में ऊँट को छोड़कर बकरे आदि भक्ष्य हैं, ऐसा कहा गया है।
Its opined that among the five clawed porcupine, hedgehog, iguana, rhinoceros, tortoise and the hare-rabbit; among the one hooped and among the teeth bearing camel should not be eaten and while the goat etc may be eaten.
छत्राकं विड्वराहं च लशुनं ग्रामकुक्कुटम्।

गोबे छत्ता, ग्राम्य शूकर, ग्रामकुक्कुट, लहसुन, प्याज और गाजर जानकर खाने से द्विज पतित होता है।
One who got birth in a upper caste family is degraded by eating mushrooms, village pig, village cock, garlic, onion-leek and carrot.
The Brahmn should undergo penances immediately after consuming meat, fish eggs etc. and remain alert in future not to repeat the mistake.

These are Tamsik products which distort one's intelligence, prudence and power to think.
In due course of time the-twice born, became a trade mark-copy right of Brahmns, only. In spite of all odds Brahmns survived the onslaught by the Buddhists, Christian Missionaries & Muslims, especially Aurangzeb. Now, its the turn of so called secular and the reservationists. The inborn virtues in the Brahmns will let them survive this as well.
The British brought English in India to distort-break the ethnic thread, virtues, customs, rituals, culture, values, traditions. Now, this English is spreading the Indian culture, way of life all over the world.
अमत्यैतानि षट् जग्ध्वा कृच्छ्रं सान्तपनं चरेत्।
यतिचान्द्रायाणं वापि शेषेषूपवसेदहः॥5.20॥
उपरोक्त छः वस्तुओं में से कोई वस्तु बिना जाने खा ले तो कृच्छ्र सान्तपन या चान्द्रायण व्रत करे और शेष जितने अखाद्य कहे गए हैं, उनमें से कोई चीज खा लेने पर एक दिन का उपवास करे।
If any of these 6 things discussed above are unwittingly, unknowingly-by mistake, eaten one should observe Krachchhr, Chandrayan Vrat-penance. If any of the other things which are forbidden are eaten then, one may observe a day's fast.

संवत्सरस्यैकमपि चरेकृच्छ्रं द्विजोत्तमः।
अज्ञातभुक्तशुद्ध्यर्थं ज्ञातस्य तु विशेषतः॥5.21॥
ब्राह्मण को अज्ञात भक्षण के दोषशान्त्ययर्थ वर्ष में कम से कम एक कृच्छ्र व्रत करना चाहिये। किन्तु जिसने जानबूझकर खाया हो, उसे विशेष रुप से व्रत करना चाहिये।
The Brahmn must observe Krachchhr Vrat-penance, at least once in a year to shun the sin of eating forbidden goods knowingly. But, if the forbidden goods have been eaten intentionally then he must observe special penances prescribed for such an offence by the scriptures.
The side effects of eating the forbidden goods are drastically reduced if one is able to consume cow's urine which is effective in cancer as well. However, the cow should not eat the waste lying over the streets. It should be properly fed and well maintained. Regular consumption of Ganga Jal is also a good remedy.
This is detoxification of the body.

यज्ञार्थं ब्राह्मणैर्वध्याः प्रशस्ता मृगपक्षिणः।
भृत्यानां चैव वृत्त्यर्थमगस्त्यो ह्याचरत् पुरा ॥5.22॥
ब्राह्मण यज्ञ के निमित्त अथवा भृत्यों के रक्षार्थ प्रशस्त पक्षियों का वध कर सकते हैं, इसी कारण से अगस्त्य मुनि ने पहले ऐसा किया है।
For the protection of the Yagy-sacrifices in holy fire, solemnised-performed by the Brahmns, some categories of birds can be killed-culminated since sage August had done it before.
There are a number of meat eating bird which bring meat at the site of the Yagy. Vultures, crows, kites and some large birds may spoil the Yagy. Thus for the protection of the Yagy they have to be killed if they hover around.
In today's context, bird hit can destroy the aircraft.

बभूवुर्हि पुरोडासा भक्ष्याणां मृगपक्षिणाम्।
पुराणेष्वपि यज्ञेषु ब्रह्मक्षत्रसवेषु च॥5.23॥
पहले ऋषियों और ब्राह्मण-क्षत्रियों ने जो यज्ञ किये उनमें भी भक्ष्य पशु-पक्षियों के माँस के पुरोडास हुए हैं।
During the ancient times the sages and Kshatriy turned into Brahmns like Vishwamitr have sacrificed some birds and animals for the sake of oblations.
पुरोडास :: यज्ञ में दी जाने वाली आहुति, जौ के आटे की टिकिया, सोमरस; cake of ground barley offered as an oblation in fire, sacrificial oblation offered to the demigods-deities, Ghee-clarified butter is offered in oblations to holy fire, with cakes of ground meal.
यत्किंञ्चत्स्नेहसंयुक्तं भक्ष्यं भोज्यमगर्हितम्।
तत्पर्युषितमप्याद्यं हविःशेषं च यद्भवेत्॥5.24॥
भक्ष्य (पक्वान्न) और भोज्य पायसादि पदार्थ जो श्रेष्ठ होंवे बासी होने पर भी घी, दही आदि से स्निग्ध करके खाने योग्य हैं। उसी प्रकार हवी का शेष बासी होने पर भी बिना घृतादि मिलाये खाने योग्य है।
Eatables though cooked previously, sometime ago may be eaten by immersing them in curd and Ghee. Similarly, the food which remains unused after oblations, though prepared & preserved sometime ago, may also be eaten without mixing Ghee in it.
The food which is offered to feed Brahmns and guests is cooked in Pure Desi Ghee-clarified butter. It contains salt and sugar in addition to some spices, which serve the purpose of preservatives. Such food stored carefully, away from moisture, can be consumed for long periods like the biscuits of today. Puri, Pakwan, Pakoude, Kachoudi, Samosa, Parantha are some of these relishing, tasty healthy food.
चिरस्थितमपि त्वाद्यमस्नेहाक्तं द्विजातिभिः।
यवगोधूमजं सर्वं पयसश्चैव विक्रिया॥5.25॥
यव, गेहूँ और मावे-खोया की बनी वस्तुओं का सम्बन्ध तेल-घी से हो तो वे बहुत दिनों तक खाने योग्य बनी रहती हैं और वे ज्यादातर ख़राब नहीं होतीं।
Eatables made from barley, wheat and milk extract obtained by drying & frying it can be consumed over a long period of time if they are cooked in pure oil or Desi Ghee.
Puri, Kachouri, Samosa, Parantha, Pakoda, Malpua, Halwa etc. are some food items which have to be consumed within a day or two. Biscuits or Nan Khatai which have milk, curd or ghee as ingredients and are baked in oven can be used over a comparatively longer period of time.
These items cooked in Binoula-cotton seed oil, Sunflower oil or refined oils, Vanaspati Ghee should be rejected outright, since they are grossly harmful to humans. Mustard, Coconut, groundnut oil are traditional cooking mediums and are good for health.
एतदुक्तं द्विजातीनां भक्ष्याभक्ष्यमशेषतः।
मांसस्यातः प्रवक्ष्यामि विधिं भक्षणवर्जने॥5.26॥
यहाँ तक द्विजातियों के भक्ष्या-भक्ष्य का सम्पूर्ण विचार किया गया है। अब आगे माँस खाने और छोड़ने की विधि का वर्णन किया गया है।
The eatables consumed or discarded by the Brahmns have been discussed, so far. Next to it procedure for accepting or discarding meat has been described.
प्रोक्षितं भक्षयेन्मांसं ब्राह्मणानां च काम्यया।
यथाविधि नियुक्तस्तु प्राणानामेव चात्यये ॥5.27॥
मन्त्रों से पवित्र किया हुआ माँस खाना चाहिये। ब्राह्मण को जब माँस खाने की इच्छा हो तो वह एक बार माँस खा सकता है। रुग्ण अवस्था में अन्य आहार से प्रनात्यय होने के भय से खा सकता है।
ऐसा केवल तभी करना चाहिये जब प्राणरक्षा हेतु यह अत्यावश्यक हो, अन्यथा कदापि नहीं।
The Brahmn may eat meat once that is too when he is not able to restrain-control himself. The meat he has to consume should be treated with Mantr meant to purify it. He may also eat meat when he is ill and there is danger of being affected by some microbes and there is danger to life.
There are some Mantr used in rituals which can convert the meat into eatable vegetarian products by controlling the whole cycle of nature. There are Yogis who are found to be capable of converting anything into eatables of choice. In due course of time the track to trace their knowledge has been lost, but methodology is not lost.
However a Brahmn must not eat meat unless-until its essential for protecting his life. Having eaten meat he should undergo sewer penances.

प्राणस्यान्नमिदं सर्वं प्रजापतिरकल्पयत्।
स्थावरं जङ्गमं चैव सर्वं प्राणस्य भोजनम्॥5.28॥
ब्रह्मा जी ने यह सब प्राणियों के लिये अन्न कल्पित किया है। स्थावर (अन्न, फल आदि), जंगम पशु-पक्षी आदि, सभी प्राणियों के भोजन हैं।
Brahma Ji created food grain for each and every organism. The fixed living beings i.e., trees, plants, vegetation; serve as the food for the movable-animals and birds.

चराणामन्नमचरा दंष्ट्रिणामप्यदंष्ट्रिणः।
अहस्ताश्च सहस्तानां शूराणां चैव भीरवः॥5.29॥
चरों का अन्न-भोजन (अचर :- तृण आदि), दाढ़ वालों का (व्याघ्र आदि) बिना दाढ़ के जीव हिरण आदि, हाथ वालों यानि मनुष्य का, बिना हाथ के जीव मछली आदि और शूरों का अन्न भीरु-डरपोक पशु-पक्षी हैं।
Brahma Ji has evolved a food chain. The fixed organism constitute the food of movable, the food of the organism with jaws-claws are the animals without jaws-claws, the food of animals with the hands are the animals without hands and the food of the beast are the fearful-timid animals.
नात्ता दुष्यत्यदन्नाद्यान्प्राणिनोऽहन्य्ऽहन्यपि।
धात्रैव सृष्टा ह्याद्याश्च प्राणिनोऽत्तार एव च॥5.30॥
खाने वाला जीव प्रतिदिन पचने खाने योग्य प्राणियों को खाकर दोष-पाप का भागि नहीं होता, क्योंकि ब्रह्मा जी ने स्वयं ही खाद्य और खादक दोनों का निर्माण किया है।
The food chain has been created by Brahma Ji-the creator, himself in such a way that the one who eats the next, is able to digest it. Therefore, one who eats the next in chain, does not commit a sin-crime and is not guilty-a sinner.
The carnivorous eat herbivorous and the herbivorous eat the vegetation. Basically the human body is devised as a herbivorous. So, when one eats animals, birds, fish egg etc., he earns sin.
Demons-Rakshas, Yaksh & Demigods too are blessed with hands, in addition to humans. Rakshas & Yaksh are meat eaters by nature and are therefore, considered to be sinners, Asur, wretched. Demigods do not eat meat and are therefore termed as Sur-pious.
यज्ञाय जग्धिर्मांसस्येत्येष दैवो विधिः स्मृतः।
अतोऽन्यथा प्रवृत्तिस्तु राक्षसो विधिरुच्यते॥5.31॥
यज्ञ के निमित्त माँस-भक्षण की दैवी विधि है। इसके विरुद्ध माँस भक्षण की प्रवृत्ति राक्षसी है।
There are procedures which allows the consumption of meat after going through divine procedure for ritualistic measures, which converts its nature from non vegetarian to vegetarian. Those who eat meat otherwise, follow the demonic path i.e., eat the raw or cooked meat without making a change in its basic nature.
Long ago some one described his meeting with a Yogi who instantly converted stools into sweet curd through the use of divine procedure enchanting some Mantr.
क्रीत्वा स्वयं वाऽप्युत्पाद्य परोपकृतमेव वा।
देवान्पितॄंश्चार्चयित्वा खादन्मांसं न दुष्यति॥5.32॥
खरीदकर या स्वयं कहीं से लाकर या सौगात की तरह किसी का दिया हुआ माँस देवता और पितरों को अर्पित कर खाने वाला दोषी नहीं होता।
The meat eater is not at fault-not to be blamed, if he has subjected it to divine procedures before presenting it to the Manes or the Demigods before consuming it; when he has either bought it or has been presented-gifted to him by some one.
Its better you avoid the purchase of meat-meat products, fish etc. or accept it as a gift.
नाद्यादविधिना मांसं विधिज्ञोऽनापदि द्विजः।
जग्ध्वा ह्यविधिना मांसं प्रेत्यस्तैरद्यतेऽवशः॥5.33॥
विधि को जानने वाला ब्राह्मण सुखावस्था में अविधिपूर्वक माँस ने खाये, क्योंकि अविधि से माँस खाने वाले को जन्मान्तर में वे प्राणी खा जाते हैं, जिनका माँस उसने खाया था।
The enlightened Brahmn who is aware of the divine procedure for the consumption of meat should never go against the methods described in scriptures and learnt by him, since if he does so he will be eaten by those animals whose meat has been consumed by him, in the following-successive rebirths.
न तादृशं भवत्येनो मृगहन्तुर्धनार्थिनः।
यादृशं भवति प्रेत्य वृथामांसानि खादतः॥5.34॥
धन निमित्त मृग मारने वाले को वैसा पाप नहीं लगता जैसा वृथा माँस खाने वाले को लगता है।
The quantum of sin is not that great for killing a deer for money as compared to that which is earned by one by eating meat without any cause (reason, logic).
नियुक्तस्तु यथान्यायं यो मांसं नात्ति मानवः।
स प्रेत्य पशुतां याति संभवानेकविंशतिम्॥5.35॥
श्राद्ध और मधुपर्क आदि रस्मों-रिवाजों में तथा विधि नियुक्त होने पर जो मनुष्य माँस नहीं खाता, वह इक्कीस जन्म तक पशु होता है।
One who has accepted the engagement for eating sacred meat duly purified with Mantrs; but fails to eat it, becomes an animal in the next 21 incarnations.
He is a person who is non Brahmn and is a meat eater-non vegetarian.
असंस्कृतान् पशून्मन्त्रैर्नाद्याद्विप्रः कदाचन।
मन्त्रैस्तु संस्कृतानद्यात्शाश्वतं विधिमास्थितः॥5.36॥
ब्राह्मण कभी मन्त्रों से बिना संस्कार किये पशुओं का माँस ने खाये, किन्तु यज्ञ में मन्त्रों से संस्कृत किये पशुओं का माँस खाये।
यह रावण जैसे राक्षसों के लिये कहा गया है जो जन्म से ब्राह्मण, पूजा पाठ, तपस्या करने वाले मगर दुराचारी, भ्रष्ट हैं।

The Brahmn must not eat the meat of the animals meant for the Yagy-sacred sacrifices without the recitation of Mantrs with due procedure, meant for the conversion of its form; but he may consume the meat of the animals which have been subjected to alteration of form through secret methodology.
Rishi August digested the demons in his stomach, who had converted themselves into vegetarian products to be served to him as lunch, before they could regain their original form as demons.
कुर्याद् घृतपशुं सङ्गे कुर्यात् पिष्टपशुं तथा।
न त्वेवं तु वृथा हन्तुं पशुमिच्छेत् कदाचन॥5.37॥
घृत या मैदा का पशु बनाकर खाय, किन्तु कभी पशु को व्यर्थ मारने की इच्छा करे।

यावन्ति पशुरोमाणि तावत्कृत्वो हि मारणम्।
वृथापशुघ्नः प्राप्नोति प्रेत्य जन्मनि जन्मनि॥5.38॥
देवतादि के उद्देश्य के बिना वृथा पशुओं को मारने वाला मनुष्य मरने पर उन पशुओं की रोम सँख्या के बराबर जन्म-जन्म में मारा जाता है।
देवताओं का उद्देश्य है मानवता की रक्षा, अतः यदि कोई पशु (जैसे विषधर नाग-साँप, शेर, चीते, भेड़िया आदि) मनुष्यों को परेशान करता है, मारता है तो उसे मारने से पाप नहीं लगता।

One who kills animals without justification gets rebirth as animal to be slaughtered as many times as there are hair on the body of the animal killed by him.
Normally, the animals killed by the beasts, carnivorous are those organism who killed the innocent animals, when they themselves were humans.
यज्ञार्थं पशवः सृष्टाः स्वमेव स्वयंभुवा।
यज्ञस्य भूत्यै सर्वस्य तस्माद्यज्ञे वधोऽवधः॥5.39॥
स्वयं ब्रह्मा जी ने यज्ञ के लिये और सब यज्ञों की समृद्धि के लिये पशुओं का निर्माण किया है, इसलिये यज्ञ में पशुओं का वध अहिंसा है।
मानवता की रक्षा हेतु पशु वध, यज्ञ स्वरूप है। आतताई, अत्याचारी, हमलावर की हत्या अनुचित नहीं है। इसीलिए फाँसी, सूली का विधान है। सेना, पुलिस इसी लिये है। आतंकवादियों का सफाया करके अमेरिका कुछ गलत नहीं कर रहा।

Brahma Ji himself evolved the animals to be sacrificed in Yagy, so that they are released from their sins and get rebirth as humans in next births. Therefore, this sacrifice is not treated as violence. As such the animal to be sacrificed has to be beheaded in a single stroke.
The horse sacrificed during Ashw Medh Yagy used to be converted into Kapoor (Camphor, कपूर) by enchantment of sacred Mantrs, by the holy-highly specialised priests.
ओषध्यः पशवो वृक्षास्तिर्यञ्चः पक्षिणस्तथा।
यज्ञार्थं निधनं प्राप्ताः प्राप्नुवन्त्युत्सृतीः पुनः॥5.40॥
औषधियाँ, पशु, वृक्ष, पक्षी इत्यादि यज्ञ के निमित्त मारे जाने पर तदोपरांत उत्तम योनि में जन्म ग्रहण करते हैं।
Various Ayur Vedic medicines-herbs, trees, animals and birds killed for sacrifices in the Yagy are freed from these low species and get next birth in higher species, i.e., humans.
All herbs trees, animals and the birds have soul in them and got these births due to their accumulated sins in numerous previous births. Brahma Ji gave them an outlet to escape these painful species.
मधुपर्के च यज्ञे च पितृदैवतकर्मणि।
अत्रैव पशवो हिंस्या नान्यत्रैत्यब्रवीन्मनुः॥5.41॥
मधुपर्क, ज्योतिष्टोमादि यज्ञ, पितृकर्म और देवकर्म में ही पशु हिंसा करनी चाहिये, अन्य कहीं नहीं, ऐसा मनु जी ने कहा है।
Manu Ji has permitted ritualistic sacrifices of animals for Madhu Park, Jyotishtomadi Yagy, Pitr Karm and Dev Karm only. Else where its restricted-banned.
एष्वर्थेषु पशून्हिंसन्वेदतत्त्वार्थविद् द्विजः।
आत्मानं च पशुं चैव गमयत्युत्तमां गतिम्॥5.42॥
पूर्वोक्त कर्मों में पशु की हिंसा करने वाला वेदज्ञ ब्राह्मण अपनी और उस पशु की उत्तम गति सुनिचित करता है।
The priest who is indebted with this job ensures that he along with the sacrificial living beings gets birth in excellent species i.e., humans and that is too in honourable families.
The priest who is indebted with this job ensures that he along with the sacrificial living beings gets birth in excellent species i.e., humans and that is too in honourable families.
The animals and birds along with the vegetation have to face this situation due to their deeds-Karm in previous births.
गृहे गुरावरण्ये वा निवसन्नात्मवान्द्विजः।
नावेदविहितां हिंसामापद्यपि समाचरेत्॥5.43॥
कर्मनिष्ठ द्विज गृह में या वन में (अर्थात ब्रह्मचर्याश्रम, गृहस्थाश्रम या वानप्रस्थ आश्रम में भी) वेद विरुद्ध हिंसा न करे।
A Brahmn who is devoted to Veds, should not involve himself in violence against the norms set-established by the Veds.
या वेदविहिता हिंसा नियताऽस्मिंश्चराचरे।
अहिंसामेव तां विद्याद्वेदाद्धर्मो हि निर्बभौ॥5.44॥
जो हिंसा वेद विहित है और इस चराचर जगत में नियम है, उसे अहिंसा ही समझना चाहिये, क्योंकि धर्म वेद से ही निकला है।
The violence which is essential and permitted by the Veds is non violence. Dharm -religious practices are embodiment of Veds.
If a venomous snake is there to bite one, he should kill him at once. If an intruder, terrorist is set to kill one, its essential to protect himself even if the enemy is killed. Killing the enemy in war is perfectly as per norms laid by Veds. If carnivorous-beasts attack humans, its better to eliminate them.
योऽहिंसकानि भूतानि हिनस्त्यात्मसुखैच्छया।
स जीवांश्च मृतश्चैव न क्वचित् सुखमेधते॥5.45॥
जो अपने सुख की इच्छा से अहिंसक जीवों को मारता है, वह इस जीवन में या जन्मान्तर में कहीं भी सुख नहीं पाता।
One who kills in noxious-herbivores, the animals which do not harm humans, will not be comfortable in the present or next several births.
One may find hunters killing innocent animals, birds in the name of hunting game. There are others who kill the animals for meat. The sweepers burn the pig alive and then eat him. The butchers slaughter millions of animals everyday. The fish industry is surviving by catching and selling fish. All these people are bound to face hells and then move to inferior species in one after another births. All these people will take birth as animals several times and their slaughter is sure then.
यो बन्धनवधक्लेशान्प्राणिनां न चिकीर्षति।
स सर्वस्य हितप्रेप्सुः सुखमत्यन्तमश्नुते॥5.46॥
जो जीवों को बाँधने, मारने या क्लेश देने की इच्छा नहीं करता, वह सब जीवों का हित चाहने वाला अत्यंत सुख पाता है।
One who wish the welfare of all organism & do not want to tie, kill, pain or hold others gets Ultimate comforts.
Those who have pets or other animals and they pain them, they are cursed and they have to bear the out come of this sin. Those who torture or kill others are the greatest sinners and therefore, they undergo sorrow, tortures, punishments in hells. After release from the hells they have to meet the same treatment from the hands of others or will be eaten by carnivorous animals-beasts.
This is applicable to teachers who beat or punish their students, with the desire of their welfare. The student is unable to realise the fact-motive and invariable curse the honest, pious, virtuous teacher. It is the sole reason that no physical punishment was awarded to the disciples in the Ashrams. "Avoid the cane and spoil the child" came to India from the British. Its better if the teacher (he is not the Guru as per description in scriptures) leaves the child to his fate. These days the teacher is just an instructor.
यद्ध्यायति यत्कुरुते रतिं बध्नाति यत्र च।
तदवाप्नोत्ययत्नेन यो हिनस्ति न किञ्चन॥5.47॥
जो जीव को दुःख-कष्ट नहीं देता, वह जिस धर्म को मन से चाहता है, जो कर्म करता है, जिस पदार्थ को चाहता है, वह उसे अनायास ही प्राप्त कर लेता है।
One who do not torture, harm, pain others-organism, gets his desires fulfilled automatically. He gets success in his endeavours, gets the desired commodities and gets the opportunity of meeting the desired deities.
That's why a devout Hindu undergoes swear penances for killing insects or any organism even if it happened unknowing-unconsciously.
नाकृत्वा प्राणिनां हिंसां मांसमुत्पद्यते क्वचित्।
न च प्राणिवधः स्वर्ग्यस्तस्मान्मांसं विवर्जयेत्॥5.48॥
जीवों की हिंसा बिना किये माँस उत्पन्न नहीं हो सकता। पशुओं का वध स्वर्ग प्राप्तयर्थ नहीं होता, इसलिये माँस खाना छोड़ देना चाहिये।
Meat can not be obtained without killing animals. Its detrimental to the attainment of heavenly bliss. Hence one must not eat meat.
This is very clear verdict of the Veds. More than 45% of Britishers have stopped eating meat during the last 20 years after learning the scientific evidence of its harmful effects.
Meningitis-a brain disease acquired by the humans comes from the cow. Several viral diseases & flue originate in birds. Primary host of Tape worms are pigs and cow. Most of the birds eat insects which transmit harmful microbes, germs, viruses, bacteria, fungus etc. in the body of eaters.

समुत्पत्तिं च मांसस्य वधबन्धौ च देहिनाम्।
प्रसमीक्ष्य निवर्तेत सर्वमांसस्य भक्षणात्॥5.49॥
माँस की उत्पत्ति और जीवों के वध-बन्धन को अच्छी तरह सोच समझकर, सब प्रकार के माँस भक्षण को त्याग देना चाहिये।
One must reject eating of all sorts of meat by realising-understanding the origin of meat and bonding due to the killing of animals for meat.

न भक्षयति यो मांसं विधिं हित्वा पिशाचवत्।
न लोके प्रियतां याति व्याधिभिश्च न पीड्यते॥5.50॥
जो विधि को छोड़कर पिशाच की तरह माँस नहीं खाता वह संसार में सबका प्यारा होता है और रोग से पीड़ित नहीं होता।
One who do not eat like a ghoul and follow the verdict given above becomes a person revered-liked by all and do not fall ill.
पिशाच :: शवभोजी, प्रेत, भूत, हौवा, दुष्टआत्मा; ghoul, bogged, boggle, eidolon, gnome-a two legged creature which survives on meat comparable to Dracula, giants or demons.
अनुमन्ता विशसिता निहन्ता क्रयविक्रयी।
संस्कर्ता चोपहर्ता च खादकश्चेति घातकाः॥5.51॥
पशु-पक्षी अथवा मनुष्य को मारने की आज्ञा देने वाला, उसके खण्ड-खण्ड करने वाला, मारने वाला, बेचने और मोल लेने वाला, पकाने वाला, परोसने वाला और खाने वाला-ये आठों ही घातक-गुनहगार हैं।
All the 8 categories of people i.e., who orders killing-slaughter, who cut-chop it into pieces, the butcher-killer, seller, buyer, cook, who serves the meat and one who eats meat, are guilty-sinners.
स्वमांसं परमांसेन यो वर्धयितुमिच्छति।
अनभ्यर्च्य पितॄन्देवांस्ततोऽन्यो नास्त्यपुण्यकृत्॥5.52॥
जो देवता और पितरों का पूजन किये बिना दूसरे के माँस से अपना माँस बढ़ाना चाहता है उससे बढ़कर दूसरा कोई पापी नहीं है।
No one is a greater sinner than the person who want to increase his own flesh by eating the meat of others without worshipping the Manes and the demigods.
वर्षे वर्षेऽश्वमेधेन यो यजेत शतं समाः।
मांसानि च न खादेद्यस्तयोः पुण्यफलं समम्॥5.53॥
प्रत्येक वर्ष, सौ वर्ष तक अश्वमेध करने वाला और जो बिलकुल ही माँस नहीं खाता है, इन दोनों का फल बराबर है।
One who perform Ashwmedh Yagy every year, for 100 years and the one who never eat meat; have the same quantum of reward.
One who perform Ashwmedh Yagy every year, for 100 years and the one who never eat meat; have the same quantum of reward.
It clearly shows that the one who do not eat meat is more virtuous than the kings who perform Ashwmedh Yagy-ritualistic horse sacrifice in which many wars are there and millions of soldiers are killed. The sin gathered by the killing of soldiers is too big to be countered.
Bhagwan Shri Ram & Shri Krashn too performed Ashwmedh Yagy but that were for eliminating the cruel, tortuous, barbarian, demonic kings & the demons too. Yagy performed by Yudhistar too had the same purpose.

फलमूलाशनैर्मेध्यैर्मुन्यन्नानां च भोजनैः।
न तत्फलमवाप्नोति यत्मांसपरिवर्जनात्॥5.54॥
फल-मूल और मुनियों के हविष्यान्न खाने से वह फल नहीं मिलता, जो केवल माँस छोड़ देने से मिलता है।
One will not get virtues-piousity by eating fruits, roots-rhizomes of trees-plants or the food eaten by the seers, which one can get just by discarding meat for ever.

मैं यहाँ जिसका माँस खाता हूँ, परलोक में वह मुझे खायेगा। यही माँस का माँसत्व है, ऐसा पण्डितों का कहना है।
The scholars have said that the peculiarity of meat lies in the fact that one who has who has been eaten in this abode will eat the current eater in the next birth-abode.
न मांसभक्षणे दोषो न मद्ये न च मैथुने।
प्रवृत्तिरेषा भूतानां निवृत्तिस्तु महाफला॥5.56॥
माँस खाने, मद्य पीने हुए स्त्री प्रसङ्ग करने में दोष नहीं है, क्योंकि प्राणियों की प्रवृति ही ऐसी है। परन्तु इससे निवृत होना महाफलदायी है।
यह प्रकृत्ति चक्र का अंग-हिस्सा है मगर, पशुओं, राक्षसों, दानवों और यक्षों के लिये है।

There is no impropriety in eating meat, drinking wine and sexual intercourse by the organism since its inborn tendency.
This postulate covers the animals, demons, giants and the Yaksh.
Organism includes each and every one who has taken birth and is sure to die. But the case of humans is different and amongest them Brahmn is very-very special (sacred).Though this treatise is meant for all humans with Rajsik & Tamsik traits-characteristics, the Brahmns are supposed to maintain decorum-Satvik traits and follow the scriptures in To-To. But today's Brahmns are at par with Europeans, American etc.

अब चारों वर्णों की प्रेतशुद्धि और द्रव्यशुद्धि यथाक्रम से कहता हूँ।
Now, I shall describe-explain the procedure-methods for the sanctification of the deceased and the money earned by the 4 Varns-categories of humans.
दन्तजातेऽनुजाते च कृतचूडे च संस्थिते।
अशुद्धा बान्धवाः सर्वे सूतके च तथौच्यते॥5.58॥
दाँत निकल जाने पर और दाँत निकलने के पीछे चूड़ाकरण और उपनयन के अनन्तर बालक की मृत्यु होने पर सपिण्ड और समानोदक बान्धव अशुचि होते हैं और किसी का जन्म होने पर भी उन्हें अशौच होता हैं।
Impurity occurs after the death of teething of the infant and thereafter the occurrence of death of the child; after teething and observance of the rites called Chudakaran-tonsure and Upnayan-initiation (Janeu) ceremony due to which the close relatives become impure and similarly the birth of a child brings impurity. During this period, worship-prayers offered to God become invalid.

This is applicable to those women who roam after the so called Sadhus-Sanyasis like Asa Ram, Gurmeet, Nirmal Baba or Ram Dev. Such women instead of caring their family, indulge in untoward activities and later blame the impostors. The women who joins camps against the will of their husband too are guilty. The women who are too bold & independent, give bold scenes (nudity) in films, act in theatre, cinema, fashion shows; too fall under the same category. The women who live in monasteries need not be cremated and offered homages.

ऐन्द्रं स्थानमुपासीना ब्रह्मभूता हि ते सदा॥5.93॥
राजाओं को सपिण्ड के मरण-जनन के अशौच का दोष नहीं लगता, क्योंकि वे इंद्र के स्थान का अधिकार पाये रहते हैं। व्रती (ब्रह्मचारी और चांद्रायण आदि व्रत करने वाले) और यज्ञ करने वाले को अशौच नहीं होता, क्योंकि वे ब्राह्मण के समान ये निष्पाप होते हैं।
The king remains untainted being in the seat of Indr (king of demigods, the king is considered to be a representative of Bhagwan Vishnu) due to the birth or death of a sibling. Those who observe fasts like celibacy and Chandrayan Vrat, too are pure in addition to those who keep on performing Yagy, since they too become pure like Brahmns.

Immediate-instant purification is prescribed for those who are killed in a war which is not patronised by the king, those who are killed by lightening, who are awarded death penalty by the king, the person who is killed while protecting a cow or a Brahmn and those who are liked by the king i.e., his kinsmen.

एतद्वोऽभिहितं शौचं सपिण्डेषु द्विजोत्तमाः।
असपिण्डेषु सर्वेषु प्रेतशुद्धिं निबोधत॥5.100॥
हे मुनिगण! यह अशौच मैंने सपिण्डों के मरने का कहा है। अब असपिण्डों की प्रेत शुद्धि कहता हूँ, सो सुनों।
Hey sages-sears! I have described the method of purification of the Brahmns pertaining to the siblings. Now, listen to the procedure for purification when someone who is not a close relative, dies.
असपिण्डं द्विजं प्रेतं विप्रो निर्हृत्य बन्धुवत्।
विशुध्यति त्रिरात्रेण मातुराप्तांश्च बान्धवान्॥5.101॥
असपिण्ड ब्राह्मण के शव को बान्धव की भाँति ढ़ोने से और मातृपक्ष के समीपी-करीबी सम्बन्धी (मामा, मौसी, बहन आदि) का शव ढोने से तीन रात में शुद्धि होती है।
It takes three nights to cleanse oneself if the Brahmn caries the dead remains of a Brahmn like his own brother and the close relatives from the mother's side (like maternal uncle, mother's sister and the sister).

सपिण्ड या असपिण्ड मृतक के पीछे-पीछे कोई अपनी इच्छा से जाये तो सचैल (वस्त्र सहित) स्नान स्नान के बाद अग्नि का स्पर्श और घी खा लेने से शुद्ध हो जाता है।
Whether one is a sibling or not if he follows the corpses to the cremation ground, he is cleansed just by bathing along with the cloths worn by him and touching fire and eating Ghee-clarified butter.
It must be remembered that when the corpse are put to fire the smoke and the air gets contaminated and all the germs, viruses, bacteria, microbes which caused the death, spread in the atmosphere. Immediate bathing relieves one of these pathogens. Burying the dead is even more dangerous. The pathogens passes into the soil and each and every one who drink the water drawn from the soil is sure to be affected by the deceases the dead had.
One should always keep it in mind that Hindu traditions are supported by strong scientific basis and evidence too can be given if desired.
न विप्रं स्वेषु तिष्ठत्सु मृतं शूद्रेण नाययेत्।
अस्वर्ग्या ह्याहुतिः सा स्याच्छूद्रसंस्पर्शदूषिता॥5.104॥
आत्मीय लोगों के रहते हुए मरे हुए ब्राह्मण को शूद्र से न उठवायें, क्योंकि शूद्र के स्पर्श से दूषित होने के कारण मृतक का वह दह्य शरीर स्वर्ग निमित्तक नहीं रहता।
The dead body of the Brahmn should not be allowed to be carried by the Shudr, till the kin-relatives are available to perform the job, since the dead body become unfit for the purpose of supporting the deceased's soul to the heavens (next abodes, incarnations).

सब शौचों में अर्थ शौच को महर्षियों ने श्रेष्ठ कहा है, जो अर्थ (धन, द्रव्य) सम्बंध (मेहनत ईमानदारी से कमाया हुआ धन-सम्पत्ति) में शुद्ध है। केवल मृतिका और जल के स्पर्श से शुद्धि नहीं होती।
The sears have said that one is clean-pure if he has earned money-wealth through pious, virtuous, righteous, honest means. To become pure just by washing with clay or water is not cleansing.

Goods-objects are cleaned by soil and water, river is cleansed by the increased speed of its flow, the woman is cleaned by the menstrual cycle and the Brahmn is cleansed by relinquishing, rejecting, abandoning the society.
Villagers in India use virgin soil for cleaning utensils and hands. This soil is yellow in colour and uncontaminated and is named Pili Mitti. This soil is mixed with cow dung to cover the flour. Cow dung carries various components which kills germs. Cleansing of the river is increased by the enhanced flow of its water's speed, which allow addition of more and more oxygen in it and ensures removal of undesired particles along with gases. The woman rejects the sperms in her vagina along with blood through menstrual cycle.
Normally, the villagers in India cleanse hands with the ashes obtained by burning cow dung as fuel. These days young boys & girls staying abroad just touch the disinfectants-sanitisers and believe that they are clean.

With the changing time, use of soap is most appropriate, since clean mud, clay, earth, soil is not available almost any where in cities. People are using sanitisers these days in stead of soap. Liquid soap is also used being very very effective in killing germs.

Indians abroad have adopted themselves to this mode, probably because they do not know that before going to the temple, prayers, worship, deities, demigods, one should have thoroughly cleaned hims self.
Since, excreta remain struck to the body, one remains unpious-unclean, unfit for performing prayers, Pooja, Arti etc.

As a matter of auspicious practice these days hotels, restaurants and the virtuous families distribute the remaining food amongest the poor. They do not allow the food to go waste. They do not let it become stale or unworthy of eating.
One himself-a Brahmn, observed that the elders use to invite the Shudrs of the village as and when they had to organise a feast. The Shudr too were treated as honoured people. In one case it was seen that all members of 9 villages were fed honourably, without distinction of caste or creed. For one its really unbelievable of those, who talk of discrimination off and on to seek undue favours from government agencies.
However, it must be remembered that one must be clean (free from sweat, body odour, germs, virus, bacteria, fungus, microbes etc.), pious, prior to attending any public place-meeting, feast.

The woman should remain under the protection-shelter of the father in childhood, under the husband in her youth and after the death of the husband she should seek protection under the sons.
The uncivilised, indecent, criminal mind, treat women as a commodity for use as a sex object and therefore, she is always vulnerable to the poachers, who mislead, misguide, lure her to indecent jobs, acts, obscenity. They call it the freedom of women. They incite her to be bold and remain independent. The result is obvious, so many rape cases, abductions, murders, sale of women for prostitution, trafficking etc. etc. Though the time is changing fast, values are changing, but the mentality remains the same.

एषां हि विरहेण स्त्री गर्ह्ये कुर्यादुभे कुले॥5.149॥
पिता, पति या पुत्र से अलग रहने की इच्छा न करे; क्योंकि इनसे अलग रहने वाली स्त्री दोनों कुलों (पिता और पति) को निन्दित करती है।
The woman who deserts her father, husband or the sons, bring slur-bad name to her father and the husband's family-clan.
Such women do not deserve any respect in the society. Every one lucks at her with greed and contempt. Number divorce-separation cases is continuously in the rise. lust, Jihad ultimately leads to abduction, serious crimes & murders.
सदाप्रहृष्टया भाव्यं गृहकार्ये च दक्षया।
सुसंस्कृतोपस्करया व्यये चामुक्तहस्तया॥5.150॥
स्त्री को सदा प्रसन्न रहकर दक्षता से साथ घर के कामों को संभालना चाहिये। नित्य व्यवहार में आने वाली सामग्रियों (आभूषण, बर्तन इत्यादि) को साफ़ रखना चाहिये और जहाँ तक हो सके कम खर्च करना चाहिये।
The woman should look after family chores with expertise & efficiency, happily. She should maintain the domestic goods in good running-working and try to curtail the expenditure as far as possible.
Since ancient times, the women have been looking after the family. They were not over ambitious or expecting too much beyond limits. In today's context, the desires and expectations have gone up too high, many fold. The husband looks for an earning hand and staple-extra income. They want all comfort, amenities, luxuries. The wife joins late night parties, remains away from her husband for months, abroad or at distant place. Divorce, separation, living without marriage (live in relation), having multiple sex partners; is the order of the day for some. There is no question of virtues, morals or ethics.
यस्मै दद्यात्पिता त्वेनां भ्राता वाऽनुमते पितुः।
तं शुश्रूषेत जीवन्तं संस्थितं च न लङ्घयेत्॥5.151॥
पिता या पिता की आज्ञा से भाई जिस पुरुष का हाथ थमा दे, जीवित अवस्था में शुद्ध हृदय से उसकी सेवा करे और उसके मरने पर धर्म का उलंघन न करे।
She should serve the person to whom she has been married to, by the father or the brother over the directions of the father, as long as the husband is alive and thereafter she should live a virtuous, religious, pious life.
The woman should live her sons, discards advances by the other people and maintain her dignity, after the death of her husband. She should not remarry.People like Raja Ram Mohan Rai distorted the Hindu society and misguided it.
In today's context each & every one is blindly following the West (America, Australia, France etc.' where ethics, moral values do not exist all)

मङ्गलार्थं स्वस्त्ययनं यज्ञश्चासां प्रजापतेः।
प्रयुज्यते विवाहेषु प्रदानं स्वाम्यकारणम्॥5.152॥
विवाह में इन दोनों पति-पत्नियों के लिये स्वस्त्ययन और प्रजापति के उद्देश्य से जो हवन किया जाता है, वह उनके कल्याण निमित्तक कर्म है। परन्तु वाग्दान के अनन्तर स्त्री पर स्वामी का अधिकार हो जाता है।
The rites-rituals performed at the occasion with Hawan-sacrifices in holi fire are meant for the satisfaction of the deities, demigods & the creator Brahma Ji and are meant for the beneficial-auspicious marriage of the couple. After the ceremony is over the woman is wedded to the husband.
The couple constitutes of two equally responsible-important person-entities. The male looks after the affairs of the family outside the home and the female takes controls of the family affairs. More responsibility is shared by the husband, therefore, he is the leader (पति). The family grows with mutual respect, faith and cooperation.
अनृतावृतुकाले च मन्त्रसंस्कारकृत्पतिः।
सुखस्य नित्यं दातेह परलोके च योषितः॥5.153॥
मन्त्र-संस्कार द्वारा प्राप्त पति ऋतुकाल में और अनृतुकाल में स्त्री को यहाँ नित्य सुख देता है और परलोक में भी सुख देने वाला होता है।
The husband obtained by the wife with the recitation of rites, rituals, sacred text; gives pleasure-comfort to the wife during mating season and thereafter as well, in this world and the next abode-birth simultaneously.
The knot is tied for many more births. The couple might be husband and wife earlier as well in previous births. The harmony, bond, ties, cordial relations established between them perpetuate for more incarnations till they attain Salvation due to their sacred, pious, virtuous, righteous behaviour, relations.
विशीलः कामवृत्तो वा गुणैर्वा परिवर्जितः।
उपचर्यः स्त्रिया साध्व्या सततं देववत्पतिः॥5.154॥
यदि पति अनाचारी हो परस्त्री में अनुरक्त हो या विद्यादि गुणों से रहित तो भी साध्वी स्त्री को देवता की तरह अपने पति की सेवा करनी चाहिये।
The pious-holi woman should not deviate from her righteous duties even if the husband is a wretched person attached to some other woman and is devoid of virtues, education; like a deity.
नास्ति स्त्रीणां पृथग्यज्ञो न व्रतं नाप्युपोषणम्।
पतिं शुश्रूषते येन तेन स्वर्गे महीयते॥5.155॥
स्त्रियों के लिये न अलग यज्ञ है, न व्रत है और न उपवास है। पति की सेवा से ही वह स्वर्ग लोक में पूजित होती है।
The scriptures have not specified any separate Hawan, Yagy, Agnihotr, sacrifices, fasts or vows. Serving the husband grants her every thing and she is given a respectable place in the heaven, after her death.
The scriptures have not specified any separate Hawan, Yagy, Agnihotr, sacrifices, fasts or vows. Serving the husband grants her every thing and she is given a respectable place in the heaven, after her death.
Its sufficient for her to carry out family responsibilities with happiness, devotion and love to attain highest position in the three worlds i.e., heaven earth and the netherworld.
पाणिग्राहस्य साध्वी स्त्री जीवतो वा मृतस्य वा।
पतिलोकमभीप्सन्ती नाचरेत्किंचिदप्रियम्॥5.156॥
स्वर्गलोक पाने की इच्छा वाली सुशीला स्त्री अपने जीवित या दिवंगत पति के लिये कुछ भी अप्रिय न करे।
The virtuous woman who long-desire for heaven should not do any thing disliked by her living or deceased husband.
कामं तु क्षपयेद्देहं पुष्पमूलफलैः शुभैः।
न तु नामापि गृह्णीयात्पत्यौ प्रेते परस्य तु॥5.157॥
पति के स्वर्गवास के बाद स्त्री पवित्र फल-फूल और कंद-मूल खाकर देह को क्षीण करे, परन्तु पर पुरुष का कभी नाम न ले (कल्पना, विचार ने करे)।
The woman may eat fruits, flowers, rhizomes, roots or tumours, till she survive and reduce her weight (if good, regular food is not available, unfortunately) instead of looking for some other person after the death of her husband. It would keep her mentally, physically and spiritually fit and fine.
She should maintain her fidelity-purity-chastity and honour.
आसीतामरणात्क्षान्ता नियता ब्रह्मचारिणी।
यो धर्म एकपत्नीनां काङ्क्षन्ती तमनुत्तमम्॥5.158॥
विधवा स्त्री पतिव्रता के उत्तम धर्मों का पालन करती हुई मरते दम तक, श्रमायुक्त और नियम पूर्वक ब्रह्मचारिणी होकर रहे।
The widow should follow the tenants described in the scriptures for virtuous living for her, aided with regular routine work, deeds, responsibilities, forgiveness and chastity till death.
अनेकानि सहस्राणि कुमारब्रह्मचारिणाम्।
दिवं गतानि विप्राणामकृत्वा कुलसंततिम्॥5.159॥
हजारों अविवाहित ब्रह्मचारी ब्राह्मण वंश वृद्धि के लिये पुत्र का उत्पादन न करके भी स्वर्गलोक को गए हैं।
Thousands of unmarried Brahmn following chastity have gone to Heaven without having a son.
Thousands of unmarried Brahmn following chastity have gone to Heaven without having a son.
So, the widow can also attain heaven just by following virtuous-pious routine, without remarrying or having a son.
मृते भर्तरि साध्वी स्त्री ब्रह्मचर्ये व्यवस्थिता।
स्वर्गं गच्छत्यपुत्रापि यथा ते ब्रह्मचारिणः॥5.160॥
जो पतिव्रता स्त्री पति के मरने के बाद ब्रह्मचर्य में स्थिर रहती है, वह पुत्रहीना होने पर भी ब्रह्मचारी पुरुषों की भांति स्वर्गलोक को जाती है।
The woman who has been devoted to her husband and observes chastity even after his death reaches the heaven, like the chaste males in spite of being issue less or delivering a son.
अपत्यलोभाद्या तु स्त्री भर्तारमतिवर्तते।
सेह निन्दामवाप्नोति परलोकाच्च हीयते॥5.161॥
स्त्री सन्तान के लोभ में पति का अतिक्रमण करती है (अर्थात परपुरुष से व्यभिचार करती है), इस लोक में तो उसकी निंदा होती ही है और वह परलोक से भी भ्रष्ट होती है।
The woman who makes illicit relation with other person for want of a son by discarding her husband, invite slur in this world and spoils her next births as well.
नान्योत्पन्ना प्रजास्तीह न चाप्यन्यपरिग्रहे।
न द्वितीयश्च साध्वीनां क्वचिद्भर्तोपदिश्यते॥5.162॥
अन्य पुरुष से उत्पन्न वह पुत्र-सन्तान शास्त्र सम्मत नहीं है और दूसरे की स्त्री में उत्पादित संतान भी उत्पादक की नहीं होती। पतिव्रता स्त्रियों को दूसरे पति का उपदेश कहीं नहीं दिया गया।
The child born out of illicit relations is not favoured by the scriptures or the learned and the producer-father of that child can not claim to be its progenitor. No where in scriptures such a relation of having second husband is favoured, prescribed, suggested.
During the current phase some woman enter into illicit relations with other males to avoid the torture of her in laws, where she is sure that her husband is incompetent-important. Dhratrashtr, Pandu and Vidur got birth through Bhagwan Ved Vyas. Pandu had 5 sons from demigods. Karn was also born out of such relations only. At one stage Vashishth had to enter into such relations in the clan called Ikshvaku Vansh. Now a days women contact sperm banks for progeny, tough its a sin. This tradition is called NIYOG PRATHA.
Both Kunti & Draupadi were called Chir Kumari-always virgin-pure.
The virtuous woman is neither motivated-derived by sex nor by the lust. She just follow the dictates of her husband & is not a sinner.
Neither Vashishth nor Bhagwan Ved Vyas had sexual desires, inclination, motivation or attachment for the women.
पतिं हित्वाऽपकृष्टं स्वमुत्कृष्टं या निषेवते।
निन्द्यैव सा भवेल्लोके परपूर्वेति चोच्यते॥5.163॥
जो स्त्री अपने गुणहीन पति को छोड़कर किसी अन्य श्रेष्ठ पुरुष को स्वीकार करती है, वह समाज में निंदनीय है। लोग उसे व्याभिचारिणी कहकर निन्दा करते है।
The woman who discard-rejects her inferior husband for a better substitute-an excellent person, is condemned as a whore-prostitute or a woman of bad character. She do not get respect in the society.
In today's context such women are ministers, first lady of an advanced country, chief ministers of states and even prime ministers. The impact of western countries has cast its shadow over India. One found several girls who entered into sexual alliance with several person prior to marriage.
The current life style has turned a large population of male into infertile youth and still they marry. The results are obvious.
व्यभिचारात्तु भर्तुः स्त्री लोकेप्राप्नोति निन्द्यताम्।
शृगालयोनिं प्राप्नोति पापरोगैश्च पीड्यते॥5.164॥
पर पुरुष के साथ व्यभिचार करने से स्त्री संसार में निन्दित समझी जाती है और मरने के बाद शृगाल (गीदड़ी) होती है तथा कुष्ठादि रोगों से पीड़ित होती है।
The who is involved in sex with the other man is disgraced in the world and become a jackal in next birth and suffers from diseases like leprosy in the current birth.
The who is involved in sex with the other man is disgraced in the world and become a jackal in next birth and suffers from diseases like leprosy in the current birth.
She may have venereal-sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, HIV etc. There is no one to look after her in old age and she gets a painful death.
पतिं या नाभिचरति मनोवाग्देहसंयुता।
सा भर्तृलोकमाप्नोति सद्भिः साध्वीति चोच्यते॥5.165॥
जो स्त्री मन वचन और क्रिया से पति के विरुद्ध आचरण नहीं करती, वह पति लोक को जाती है और इस लोक में अच्छे लोग पतिव्रता कहकर प्रशंसा करते हैं।
The virtuous woman who do act against her husband through deeds, desire, psyche-inner self, meets her husband in next birth as well and the society praises her as one who is devoted to her husband.
अनेन नारीवृत्तेन मनोवाग्देहसंयुता।
इहाग्र्यां कीर्तिमाप्नोति पतिलोकं परत्र च॥5.166॥
इस नारी धर्म के अनुसार जो स्त्री तन, मन, वचन से पति की सेवा करती है, वह इस लोक में सुयश पाती है और मरने के बाद स्वर्ग सुख भोगति है।
The virtuous woman who serves her husband with body, mind and pleasing words following the duties-Dharm of women described in scriptures gets honour-respect in this society and gets the comforts of heaven in next birth or gets heaven.
एवं वृत्तां सवर्णां स्त्रीं द्विजातिः पूर्वमारिणीम्।
दाहयेदग्निहोत्रेण यज्ञपात्रैश्च धर्मवित्॥5.167॥
शास्त्रोक्त विधि से चलने वाली महिला यदि पहले मर जाये, तो धर्मज्ञ द्विज अग्निहोत्र और यज्ञ पात्रों के द्वारा उसकी दाह क्रिया करे।
If a virtuous woman who had been following the dictates of the scriptures, dies before her husband, the husband who is a Brahmns should carry out all rituals, rites and procedures with the help of Agnihotr-holy sacrifices in fire with the help of vessels meant for Hawan-sacred sacrifices in fire and perform the last rites i.e., cremation.
भार्यायै पूर्वमारिण्यै दत्त्वाग्नीनन्त्यकर्मणि।
पुनर्दारक्रियां कुर्यात् पुनराधानमेव च॥5.168॥
पति के पूर्व मरने वाली स्त्री को अंत कर्म में अग्नि दे चुकने के पीछे वह पुरुष पुनर्विवाह करके (श्रौत या स्मार्त) अग्निहोत्र ले।
Having performed the last rites after the funeral, the Brahmn may marry again.
अनेन विधिना नित्यं पञ्चयज्ञान्न हापयेत्।
द्वितीयमायुषो भागं कृतदारो गृहे वसेत्॥5.169॥
इस विधि से यथाशक्ति पञ्च यज्ञों को नित्य नियमपूर्वक करे, कभी उसे छोड़े नहीं और जीवन के दूसरे भाग में विवाह कर ग्रहस्थाश्रम में रहे।
Having entered marital alliance yet again, in the second half of his life i.e., youth-household, the Brahmn should continue to perform the 5 types of Yagy-Hawan-Agnihotr (prayers, worship, devotion to the God) throughout his life.
