Dashvaikalik adhyayan 1 does not explicitly discuss meat-eating. Its opening gathas are about dharma, ahimsa, samyama, tapas, and the monk’s alms-gathering conduct—for example, gathas 1–5 compare the monk to a bee taking nectar without harming the flower, and gatha 3 speaks of monks moving among flowers for alms, not meat. ( jainqq.org)

The explicit mention of meat appears later, in adhyayan 5 (Pindeshana), gatha 73, which refers to “meat or fish” among alms a monk should refuse. So if you are looking for a direct scriptural prohibition in Dashvaikalik, chapter 5, gatha 73 is the relevant citation—not chapter 1. ( jainqq.org)

So the precise answer is: no meat-eating passage in adhyayan 1; the meat/fish reference is in adhyayan 5, gatha 73. ( jainqq.org)
