佛說處處經 1.3

1.3

The Buddha said: "As for the [mark of] successive tastes: when food is taken in, it is combined externally, and internally its flavors are discerned without error; this is successive tastes. The reason a bodhisattva attains this knowledge is that in past lives, whatever food he ate, he always first offered it to his parents and to men of the Way, and only afterward ate it himself. For this reason, he attained these thirty-two marks and eighty secondary signs."
