According to the teachings mentioned in Chapter 38, food donation, or Annadan, is considered the foremost among all deeds and the highest secret for quenching hunger. The text emphasizes that food is the very form of Para-Brahman (the Supreme Reality), from which all beings are born and into which they ultimately merge. It is described as the primary means for a living being's survival. The scriptures state that while different ages have different primary duties, charity is key in the Kali age, and food donation is the chief and foremost among all codes of conduct. As Chapter 38 explains, nothing is superior to this act of charity.
