3.182.p2

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
A few unfit persons,—such as the blind, and the rest—have been specifically mentioned in the foregoing verses, describing the evil results of giving food to those unworthy of company; apart from these, there are others, the ‘thief,’ and the rest, mentioned in the several contexts; when these are fed, the following things accrue to the giver: viz., fat, blood, flesh, &c. That is, he becomes born as creatures who feed on these things; i.e., such creatures us insects and such carnivorous animals as vultures, and the like.
