That is also stated in the Bhagavad-gita. Aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami: [Bg. 18.66] "If you surrender unto Me, then I'll give you protection from all sinful reactions." So if you make it a vow that "I shall not eat anything which is not offered to Krishna," that means it is a surrender. You surrender to Krishna, that "My dear Lord, I shall not eat anything which is not offered to You." That's vow. That vow is surrender. And because there is surrender, you are protected from the sinful reaction.
