Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 43
यद्वा माहिषिको भुंक्ते श्वित्री वा कुनखोऽपि वा । कुष्ठी वाथ द्विजो भुंक्ते तत्ते श्राद्धं भविष्यति
yadvā māhiṣiko bhuṃkte śvitrī vā kunakho'pi vā | kuṣṭhī vātha dvijo bhuṃkte tatte śrāddhaṃ bhaviṣyati
Ou bien, si un māhiṣika, ou un homme atteint de leucodermie, ou aux ongles malades, ou un lépreux—fût-il même un dvija—mange le repas du śrāddha, alors cette faute s’attachera à ton śrāddha.
Brahmā (contextual continuation)
Scene: A śrāddha feeding scene where the priest discreetly stops the host from serving an ineligible eater; the host looks concerned, the ritual plates are set, and the atmosphere is tense but controlled.
