¹⁸⁶⁵ न मांसभक्षणे दोषो न मद्ये न च मैथुने । प्रवृत्तिरेषा भूतानां निवृत्तिस्तु महाफला ॥ मनु V. 56. This is quoted by the तन्त्रवार्तिक on p. 191. The real meaning of this is brought out by बृहस्पति ‘सौत्रामण्यां तथा मद्यं शृतौ भक्षस्तदुदाहृतम् । ऋतौ च मैथुनं धर्म्यं पुत्रोत्पत्तिनिमित्ततः ॥ स्वर्गं प्राप्नोति नैवं तु प्रत्यवायेन युज्यते ॥’ in सर्वज्ञनारायण on मनु V. 50.
