Nor the food of the informer and the perjurer, or of the seller of sacrifices; nor the food of the actor or the tailor; nor the food of the ungrateful person.—(214)

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Informer,’—one who betrays the confidence reposed in him; or one who talks ill of persons behind their back.

‘Perjurer,’—who has given false evidence.

‘Seller of sacrifices,’— who, having performed a sacrifice, sells its fruit; i.e., says to another person,—‘May the fruit of this sacrifice be yours,’ and receives a price for it. Though, in reality, there can be no ‘selling’ of a sacrifice, yet, what is forbidden, is the food of a person who makes such living, or who undertakes sacrifice with a view to cheat others.

‘Tailor’—He who works with the needle,

‘Ungrateful person,’—he who nullities the good that has been done to him; on the contrary, proceeds to do harm to his helper, and not to do a good turn to him, even though capable of doing so.—(214)
