The demigod Piisa will be able to chew only through the teeth of his

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.
