is it correct to eat non-veg - as in puranas

 

King Saudas organised a Yagya in the auspices of sage Vashishta. Towards the end of

Yagya, sage Vashishta went away to take bath. Meanwhile the same demon arrived there in the guise

of Vashishta and expressed his desire to eat non-vegetarian food. Then the demon arrived before the

king in the guise of the cook. The king ordered him to cook meat for the sage. The cook cooked human

flesh and served it before the sage. Sage Vashishta knew that the food contained human flesh. He

cursed the king in anger to be a demon. Within three days, King Saudas became a demon and began

to roam in the forests. Since then he ate the humans only.

 notes: it shows that it is common that vashista eats meat.

Kartikeya’s Amazing Character

Kartikeya narrated a story connected with himself:-

"One day a brahmin, whose name was Narad came to me and requested me to help him find his hegoat

which had got lost. He told me that the goat was supposed to be offered as the sacrifice.

As in puranas for non-veg

"If the goat was not found, my vow would remain unfulfilled." Said Narad

I went in search of that goat. I found it in the Vishnuloka where it was creating nuisance . When the

goat saw me, it tried to attack me with its sharp horns. I climbed on its back. After travelling through all

the three worlds, the goat returned back to his original place. I climbed down from its back.

Narada arrived and demanded his goat. I told him that his Yagya had been accomplished by my

blessings and there was no need to sacrifice the poor goat. Narada - the brahmin went back satisfied. 

"it shows that it is common to sacrifice animals and after tha it is mean for eating only. hence it is also common to eat non veg as per puranas.
