THE WORLDS
About Krimibhojana
The account describes a person who eats without sharing the food with others and neglects the expected offerings and duties surrounding a meal. Food is therefore treated as part of a relationship: the household’s enjoyment carries responsibilities toward beings beyond the eater’s immediate appetite.
The destination is an immense place filled with worms, where the wrongdoer becomes vulnerable within a cycle of consuming and being consumed. The image reverses the person's earlier refusal to share nourishment. It belongs to the chapter's described consequences for particular deeds.
