The demigod Piisa will be able to chew only through the teeth of his
disciples, and if alone, he will have to satisfy himself by eating dough made
from chick pea flour. But the demigods who have agreed to give me my
share of the sacrifice will recover from all their injuries.

PURPORT

The demigod Pisa became dependent on his disciples for chewing.
Otherwise he was allowed to swallow only dough made of chick pea flour.
