भावार्थ:

कड़वे, खट्टे, लवणयुक्त, बहुत गरम, तीखे, रूखे, दाहकारक और दुःख, चिन्ता तथा रोगों को उत्पन्न करने वाले आहार अर्थात्‌ भोजन करने के पदार्थ राजस पुरुष को प्रिय होते हैं ॥9॥

Translation

Foods that are too bitter, too sour, salty, very hot, pungent, dry, and chiliful, are dear to persons in the mode of passion. Such foods produce pain, grief, and disease.
