Bhagavan Shree Krishna said:
15.25. My उच्छिष्ट (uchChiShTa - remnants after taking food) should be eaten by those who are devoted to Me. O son, it is sanctifying. It bestows Mukti even on sinners.
15.26. If anyone eats the leavings of My food everyday, he should attain the merit of a hundred Chandrayana rites for every lump thereof.
15.27. The devotees will have 2 types of food: अवशिष्ट (avaziSTa - that which is not partaken and so left over) and उच्छिष्ट (uchChiShTa - partially consumed and left over).
They do not have any other types of food. Should they take (anything else) they shall perform the expiatory rite of Chandrayana.
15.28. If anyone takes food, drink etc. without dedicating it to Me, the food is as bad as the faeces of a dog and the drink just like liquor.
15.29. Hence, 0 son, food, drink and medicine should be dedicated to me first and then taken with great devotion. They make what is impure into one that is pure.
15.30. My उच्छिष्ट (uchChiShTa) yields the benefit of Tirtha, Yajna etc. It destroys the evils of Kali.
It bestows good status even on persons of vicious deeds.
15.31. No devotee should partake of the food offerings to other deities.
By eating the cooked rice of non-devotees one shall fall into hell.
