6.3.27
saptamam me nāma kurv ity abravīt / (Zūlagava: brahmatva)
vi. 8. A seventh time he grasped him; he said to him, ‘Why dost thou grasp me?’ He replied, ‘Give me a seventh name, for with six names only I shall not eat food here.’ He answered, ‘Thou art Īçāna.’ Since food is Īçāna, thereby Īçāna harms him not, nor his offspring, nor his cattle, nor any one claiming to be his. He who hates him becomes worse, not he who knows thus. His vow is ‘One should not repulse one who desires food only.’
