“Whatever man, moreover, engrossed in his own nourishment abandons his destitute children, dependants, wife and other relatives in a famine or in a disturbance, he indeed in his hunger thus gets portions of his own flesh, which Tama’s servants cut off and put into his mouth.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
