असम्भाष्या: पितृणां च देवानां चैव पञज्च ते । स्नातकानां च विप्राणां ये चानये च तपोधना:,इन पाँचों पापाचारियोंसे देवताओं, पितरों, स्नातक ब्राह्मणों तथा अन्यान्य तपोधनोंको बातचीत भी नहीं करनी चाहिये
Transliteration
asambhāṣyāḥ pitṝṇāṃ ca devānāṃ caiva pañca te | snātakānāṃ ca viprāṇāṃ ye cānye ca tapodhanāḥ ||
Translation
Yama said: “These five are not to be conversed with. The gods and the Manes (pitṛs), as well as initiated Brahmins who have completed their studentship (snātakas), and other ascetics rich in austerity, should not even engage in speech with such sinful-doers.”
