Chapter 1.

Wheat, rice, barley, corn (which grows in sixty days), pure corn (used for rituals),

milk, clarified butter, candied sugar, honey, dry ginger, Parval vegetable, fruits, five

types of vegetables, Moong pulses in small measure, and water wholesome for

Yo g is.

NOTE: Mihirchandra points out that five recommended vegetables are the

Chakshusya or the ones that do not hurt the eyesight. Yoga dietetics has as a principle

low proteins and easily digestible nutrients as food, in harmony with sedentary way

of yoga life where the wear, tear and stress are less. It is generally termed Sattvika or

pure and healthy. That vegetarianism and yoga diet differ in selection of nutrients

is evident since the emphasis in case of the latter is not only on minimum physical

needs alone, but also sedate mental life. “Water” precludes stimulating drinks.
