It became boiled rice. That is boiled rice's nature as boiled rice. This is the twofold form of food: both what one drinks and what one eats. What one drinks is of the nature of the churned potion; what one eats is of the nature of boiled rice. Both indeed are obtained in the house of him who knows thus: both what one drinks and what one eats. Regarding this they say: 'Three drops come: a drop of water, a drop of ghee, a drop of honey.'
