शुशक कास श्रम अत्यगनी विषम ज्वर पीनासा

a Acharyas were men of exeptional abilities and they possessed the 'ashta aiswarys' (Ref: Sivasamhita) by virtue of their sadana. They were perfect Yogis. So naturally they possessed the ability to migrate their souls to other fellow living creatures including wild animals like tiger. So they were able to perceive the world in an animal's standpoint even while practicing yama and niyama religiously. This could also give a satisfactory explanation how 'acharyas' were able to explain the qualities of different meats in explicit way.
A fully grown up and young animal which is freshly killed, and it should not be contaminated should be used for eating purpose. And discard flesh of dead animals. Aavoid meat of very emaciated animals, animals which are killed by poison or drowning.
