Verse Text

yathā mṛṣṭa-rasālāyāṁ yavasādeḥ kathaṣcana | tac-carvaṇe bhaved eva satṛṇābhyavahāritā ||52||

Translation

Useless aṅga-rasas are like sweet nectar in which grass has accidentally fallen. In taking the nectar, one also must eat the grass (and experience distaste).

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

At such times of slight appearance, no consideration is given to it; when one is eating some palatable dishes, if one also eats a small blade of grass he will not taste it, nor will he care to distinguish what its taste is like. SKIP1
