Perhaps it's best summed up by a title suggested by one of Kotelnich's residents for the film that Carrère is making there: Tout jyt 'nielzia, paka jyvout; We can't live here, and yet we do. ❋ Josh Lacey (2010)
Hindu scriptures point to three forces that influence food's nutrition: pathra shuddhi, the cleanliness of the cooking vessels, paka shuddhi, the chef's cleanliness and mental attitude, and pachaka shuddhi, the quality of ingredients. ❋ Deepa S. Iyer (2011)
The paka plant grows there in great abundance, especially at the broad south end, from where the waters descend. ❋ Goodkind, Terry (1999)

The paka is able to not only tolerate the poison, but thrive on it. ❋ Goodkind, Terry (1999)
One of their favorite foods is the berries of the paka plant that grows not far above, and so they are one of the few animals to frequent the highlands. ❋ Goodkind, Terry (1999)
