Mamsa: One of the seven bodily constituents, mainly muscle (dhatu) and its metabolism.

 

many Hindus who like to consume dead bodies use this word esp. from the man smriti to provve that eating dead bodies ia alright and legit.

esp. in the GAruda Purana and markendeya purana the foolish translators who supposed to expert on SAnkrit translate the word mamasa as meat. this is when the descendents offer meat are "supposed to offer meat to the forefathers.) this is utter nonsense as stated in Matya Purana "Vegetarian food prepared with pure butter, milk, sugar and curd, etc. are most pleasing_to_the_Pitrs."(Matsya_Purana_17.30)

 

Cow’s milk, honey and the sweet pudding made of milk and rice and sugar with dry nuts satisfies the Pitrs forever. (Matya_Purana_17.36)

 

Flesh of animals is obtained only after killing him, which is a sin, and the killer of animals never enters the celestial abode. (Manu_Simriti_5.48)

 

It is Dharma that in the Shraddha feast one should never offer meat nor should one eat meat. Only vegetarian food must be offered because meat is obtained by killing._(Srimad_Bhaagavatam_7.15.7)

 

Manu asserts that selling buying, cooking and eating meat is a sin, which is as great as killing an animal itself. (Manu_Simriti_5.15)

 

of course for one who likes to eat meat they will come up with anything just to prove themselves right.
