Rice should he eaten that has been kept awhile, mixed with oil, and long stored; and wheat, barley, and butter-milk and preparations thereof unmixed with oil. The hare, the tortoise, the go-sāmp,\[1\] the porcupine, and the rhinoceros, my son,—these indeed may he eaten; and the domestic pig and fowl should he eschewed. The remains of food at a śrāddha after the pitṛs and gods and other recipients have been satisfied may be eaten at the desire of the brāhmans. A man who eats flesh that has been killed for the purpose of medicine is not defiled. > — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa - [Previous: 35.1.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.35.1.p1) - [Next: 35.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.35.3) - [Up: 35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.35) ## Translations (2) - [The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-pargiter.35.p2) — Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya~en-mt.35.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.35.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.markandeya.35.2) · Pramāṇa
