दैवं वाप्यथवा पित्र्यं योडश्रीयाद ब्राह्मणादिषु । अस्नातो ब्राह्मणो राजंस्तस्याधर्मो गवानृतम्
Translation
قال بهيشما: «يا ملك، إن أكلَ براهمنٌ في دِفَيَجْنَة (قربان الآلهة) أو في شْرادْدها (قربان الأسلاف) عند البراهمة أو الكشترية أو الفيشية من غير أن يغتسل ويتطهر أولًا، عُدَّ أدرمه كإثمِ من يحلف زورًا على بقرة.»
