>They drink the liquor called Gauda, and they eat fried barley mixed with meat. They also eat beef with garlic and cakes made of flour mixed with meat. They eat boiled rice that they have bought from others. They are completely void of all righteous (Vedic) behavior.>Their women, drunk with liquor and undressed, laugh and dance outside the walls of the houses and in the cities, with no garlands or perfumes. They sing obscene songs that are as musical as the braying of donkeys or the bleating of camels. In their intoxication, they become loose and promiscuous.>A Vahika (Jartika) should never be visited. They are the dirt of the earth. In the chaotic region where the five rivers flow... no Aryan should reside there even for two days. There, the vows of religion are not kept.>There were two Pishachas in the river Vipasa named Vahi and Hika. The Vahikas are the offspring of these two demons. They are not creatures created by the Prajapati. Being born of that lineage, how can they know the duties of religion?<Mahabharata, Karna Parva
