TRANSLATION
A person in  vānaprastha  life should not eat grains grown by tilling of the fields. He should also not eat grains that have grown without tilling of the field but are not fully ripe. Nor should a  vānaprastha  eat grains cooked in fire. Indeed, he should eat only fruit ripened by the sunshine.
