आहरेदथ नो किज्चित् कामं॑ शूद्रस्य वेश्मन: । न हि यज्ञेषु शूद्रस्य किज्चिदस्ति परिग्रह:,किंतु राजा अपनी इच्छाके अनुसार शूद्रके घरसे थोड़ा-सा भी धन न ले आवे; क्योंकि यज्ञोंमें शूद्रका किंचिन्मात्र भी अधिकार नहीं है
Transliteration
āhared atha no kiñcit kāmaṁ śūdrasya veśmanaḥ | na hi yajñeṣu śūdrasya kiñcid asti parigrahaḥ ||
Translation
Bhishma berkata: Janganlah raja, menurut kehendaknya sendiri, mengambil walau sedikit pun daripada rumah seorang Śūdra; kerana dalam upacara korban, Śūdra tidak mempunyai sebarang hak untuk menerima bahagian atau perolehan ritual.
