इत्येतै: कर्मभिरवव्यस्ता द्विजा वर्णान्तरं गता: । धर्मो यज्ञक्रिया तेषां नित्यं न प्रतिषिध्यते,इन्हीं कर्मोंके कारण ब्राह्मणत्वसे अलग होकर वे सभी ब्राह्मण दूसरे-दूसरे वर्णके हो गये, किंतु उनके लिये नित्यधर्मानुष्ठान और यज्ञकर्मका कभी निषेध नहीं किया गया है
Translation
Durch eben diese Handlungen lösten sich die Dvijas vom Brahmanentum und gelangten in andere Varṇas. Doch wurde ihnen weder die tägliche Dharmaübung noch die Vollziehung der Yajña-Riten jemals dauerhaft untersagt.
