प्राजापत्यं चरेत्कृच्छ्रं तेन शुष्यति स द्विजः ॥ एकस्य गोप्रदानस्य सहस्रांशेन पूर्यते ॥
prājāpatyaṃ caret kṛcchraṃ tena śuṣyati sa dvijaḥ || ekasya gopradānasya sahasrāṃśena pūryate ||
उसको प्राजापत्य व्रत करना चाहिए। इससे वो ब्राह्मण पाप से साफ हो जाता है। एक गाय दान करने से भी उसका काम हो जाता है।
