It is remarkable that on Vedāntasūtra III. 4. 29 Śaṁkara connects this clause with allowed and forbidden foods 'एवं च सति-आहारशुद्धौ सत्त्वशुद्धिरित्येवमादि-भक्ष्याभक्ष्यविभाग-शास्त्रमबाधितं भवति'. On या. I. 154 (p. 221) अपरार्क quotes a long passage from Hārīta in which we read 'तस्माच्छुचिर्यथार्थपरिमितारः स्यात् । आहारशुद्धौ सत्त्वशुद्धिरित्याचार्याः ।'. - [Previous: v3.c40.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v3.c40.4) - [Next: v3.c40.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v3.c40.6) - [Up: v3.c40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v3.c40) ## Cites (4) - [Yājñavalkyasmṛti](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.yajnavalkya.1.154) — Yājñavalkya, Sanskrit - [Chāndogyopaniṣad](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.chandogya.7.26.2) — Sanskrit - [Brahmasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.vedanta.brahmasutra-works.brahmasutra.3.4.29) — Bādarāyaṇa, Sanskrit - [Hāritasmṛti (Laghu- and Vṛddha-Hārīta)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.laghuvrddha.harita) — Hārīta, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v3.c40.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v3.c40.5) · Pramāṇa
