amedhye vā paten matto vaidikaṃ vāpy udāharet
akāryam anyat kuryād vā brāhmaṇo madamohitaḥ //

Sura, (all other) intoxicating drinks and decoctions and flesh are the food of the Yakshas, Rakshasas, and Pisakas; a Brahmana who eats (the remnants of) the offerings consecrated to the gods, must not partake of such (substances).
