Sanskrit

यातयामं गतरसं पूति पर्युषितं च यत्।उच्छिष्टमपि चामेध्यं भोजनं तामसप्रियम्।।17.10।।

yāta-yāmaṁ gata-rasaṁ pūti paryuṣhitaṁ cha yat uchchhiṣhṭam api chāmedhyaṁ bhojanaṁ tāmasa-priyam

Meaning

Leaders driven by inertia consume low-quality information and make decisions from outdated, corrupted sources. Choose fresh, nourishing inputs to elevate your thinking and outcomes.

Translation

Food that is not properly cooked, lacking in essence, putrid and stale, as well as that which is unfit for sacrifice, is dear to one possessed of tamas.
