धर्मनिन्दा–धर्मोपासनाफलम् तथा साध्वाचारलक्षणम्
Fruits of Disparaging vs. Observing Dharma; Marks of Good Conduct
Devanagari script
यस्तु विप्रत्वमुत्सृज्य क्षात्रं धर्म निषेवते । ब्राह्मण्यात् स परिभ्रष्ट: क्षत्रयोनौ प्रजायते,जो ब्राह्मण ब्राह्मणत्वका त्याग करके क्षत्रिय-धर्मका सेवन करता है, वह अपने धर्मसे भ्रष्ट होकर क्षत्रिय योनिमें जन्म लेता है
Transliteration
yastu vipratvam utsṛjya kṣātraṃ dharmaṃ niṣevate | brāhmaṇyāt sa paribhraṣṭaḥ kṣatrayōnau prajāyate ||
Translation
Maheshvara said: “But if a man abandons the state and duties of a brāhmaṇa and instead practices the dharma of the kṣatriya, he falls away from brāhmaṇa-hood; having deviated from his proper discipline, he is born in a kṣatriya lineage.”
