[228] Bhikkhus, there are these five dangers (ādīnavā) for a family that takes its meals late in the day. What five? They do not attend at the proper time upon those who are guests and visitors; they do not honor at the proper time the deities who receive oblations (balipaṭiggāhikā devatā); they do not attend at the proper time upon those ascetics and brahmins who eat only one meal a day, refraining from eating at night, abstaining from food at improper times; their slaves, workers, and servants do their work with averted faces; and food eaten at the wrong time is, to that very extent, lacking in nutritive essence. These, bhikkhus, are the five dangers for a family that takes its meals late in the day.
