एक भुक्तं सदारोग्यं द्विभुक्तं बलवर्धनं |
त्रिभुक्तेर्व्याधिपीडा स्याच्चतुर्भुक्ते मृतिर्ध्रुवं ||
अर्थ - जो व्यक्ति दिन भर मे एक ही बार भोजन करता है वह सदैव निरोग (स्वस्थ) रहता है , और दिन में दो बार भोजन करने से शक्ति (ताकत) में वृद्धि होती है | परन्तु दिन भर में तीन बार भोजन करने से रोग उत्पन्न होते हैं और यदि कोई दिन में चार बार भोजन करता है तो उसकी शीघ्र मृत्यु होना निश्चित है |
Eka bhuktam sadaarogyam dvibhuktam balavardhanam.
Tribhuktaivyaadhipeedaa syaacchaturbhukte mrutirdhruvam.
Eka = one (once) Bhuktam = eating food. Sadaariogyam = Sadaa +aarogyam. Sadaa = always.
Aarogyam = healthy . Dvibhuktam = dvi + bhukatam. Dvi = two (twice). Balavardhanam = bala +vardhanam. Bala = strength, stamina. Vardhanam = increase. Tribhuktirvyaadhipeedaa = tri +
bhuktaih +vyaadhi + peeda. Tri + three (thrice). Vyaadhi = disease. Peeda = pain.
syaacchaturbhukte = syaat +chatuh + bhukte. Syaat = perhaps, per chance. Chatuh = four (times)
Mriti = death. Dhruvam = sure, certainly.
i.e. If a person takes meals only once in a day, he always remains healthy. Taking meals twice a day results in increase in his physical strength, whereas taking meals thrice a day causes diseases and pain. But if meals are taken four times during a day, then its consequences will surely be untimely death of the concerned person.
(This Subhashita warns about the dangers associated with over eating in a subtle and forceful way.)
