TRANSLATION
The devotees of the Lord are released from all kinds of sins
because they eat food which is offered first for sacrifice. Others,
who prepare food for personal sense enjoyment, verily eat only
sin.In the top picture, people are eating and distributing food that’s been offered first to Kryna as a sacrifice.
Ia the bottom picture, people are cooking and cating for their own pleasure.TEXT 3.13 an
EXPLANATION
Because the devotees of Krsna love Him, they never accept anything without first offering it to
Him. By different types of yajita or sacrifice, such as hearing, chanting, and remembering, they are
protected from the sinful influence of the material world and become happy.
Those people who eat food for their own pleasure and do not offer it first to Kryna are thieves
because everything belongs to Krsna and is meant for His pleasure. They also are eating all kinds
of sins since they are killing so many living entities for their food. One cannot be happy if he is
sinful,
