Gita Press English

The priest cooked four kinds of foods with six different tastes as mentioned in the 172 * ÝR” RMACARITAMNASA* Vedas. He prepared an illusory banquet and a variety of seasoned dishes more than one could count. Dressing the flesh of a variety of animals the wretch mixed with it the cooked flesh of BrŒhma˜as. All the invited BrŒhma˜as were then called for the dinner. Their feet were duly washed and they were respectfully shown to their places.The moment the king began to serve the food, a (fictitious) voice from heaven (raised by the demon KŒlaketu himself) said, “Up, up, BrŒhma˜as! and return to your homes. Taste not this food; it is most harmful. The dishes include the flesh of the BrŒhma˜as.”Up rose all the BrŒhma˜as believing the ethereal voice. The king lost his nerve; his mind was bewildered with infatuation. As fate would have it, he could not utter a word. (1—4)
