Commentary

Shri Hari says: My celibate as well as saint devotees should not accept the invitation to attend the ‘Brahm Bhojan’ i.e. food offered to Brahmins, to have food which has been organized to celebrate the ceremonies like conception ceremony etc. And the celibates and saints should not have food, prepared for the nine Shraddh ceremonies for the 'Pret', 'Ekadashahik Shraddh', monthly 'Shraddh' on twenty ninth day, 'Dwadshahik Shraddh' and ‘Sapind Shraddh’, evenif, they are invited. They should not accept any raw materials on such occasions.
