TRANSLATION

One who has accepted the vānaprastha order of life should perform seasonal sacrifices by offering oblations of caru and sacrificial cakes prepared from rice and other grains found in the forest. The vānaprastha, however, may never offer animal sacrifices to Me, even those sacrifices mentioned in the Vedas.


PURPORT

One who has taken the vānaprastha order of life should never perform animal sacrifices or eat meat.
