Steya-doṣa-nirūpaṇa (On the Nature and Gravity of Theft) — within the Hayagrīva–Agastya Saṃvāda frame
विश्वस्य हत्वा पापिष्ठं शूद्रं वाप्यन्त्यजातिजम् / ब्रह्महत्याधिकं पापं तस्मान्नास्त्यस्य निष्कृतिः
viśvasya hatvā pāpiṣṭhaṃ śūdraṃ vāpyantyajātijam / brahmahatyādhikaṃ pāpaṃ tasmānnāstyasya niṣkṛtiḥ
To slay one who has trusted you and come for refuge—even if he be a most sinful śūdra or an antyaja—is a sin greater than brahmahatyā; therefore there is no expiation for it.
