यज्ञशिष्टाशिनः सन्तो मुच्यन्ते सर्वकिल्बिषै ।
भुञ्जते ते त्वघं पापा ये पचन्त्यात्मकारणात् ॥
yajña-śiṣṭāśinaḥ santo mucyante sarva-kilbiṣaiḥ |
bhuñjate te tv aghaṁ pāpā ye pacanty ātma-kāraṇāt ||
(Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā: 3.13)
“A virtuous person who subsists on the remnants of sacrifice (yajña) is liberated from all sins [i.e., the consequences of violence towards other living beings]. But one who prepares food for oneself partakes only of sin.”
