Englishअभोज्यान्न Bahuvr. m. f. n. (-न्नः-न्ना-न्नम्) One whose food
must not be eaten (because eating it makes impure or brings
misfortune)
e. g. Manu: य एते (those mentioned in the
preceding verses) ऽन्ये त्वभोज्यान्नाः क्रमशः परिकीर्तिताः ।
तेषां त्वगस्थिरोमाणि वदन्त्यन्नं मनीषिणः ‘…their food, the
wise say, is (like) skin, bones and hair’. Such persons
are, for instance, an insane man, a wrathful person, a
thief, a public singer, a carpenter, a eunuch, a woman in
her courses or in childbed, a backbiter, a tailor, a black-
smith, a physician, a libidinous woman, a usurer &c.
see
Manu 4. 205-221.
Yājnav. 1. 160-168.--One who has un-
knowingly eaten the food of such persons must fast during
three days
but, having eaten it knowingly he must per-
form the penance called Kṛṣchhra, as if he had tasted
seminal impurity, ordure or urine
according to Manu 4. 222.
In another verse, however, Manu (11. 152.) is satisfied, if
such a sinner drinks barley gruel for seven days and nights
(see the quot. s. v. अभोज्य). Comp. Raghunand. I. p. 317 ff.
