अहिंसयित्वा ब्रह्महत्याविधानम् / Brahmahatyā incurred without physical violence

युधिष्ठिरने पूछा--भरतश्रेष्ठ! प्राचीन ब्राह्मण किसको दानका श्रेष्ठ पात्र बताते हैं? दण्ड-कमण्डलु आदि चिह्न धारण करनेवाले ब्रह्मचारी ब्राह्मणको अथवा चिह्नरहित गृहस्थ ब्राह्मगको?

Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca: śrāddhakāle ca daive ca pitṛyeṣv api ca pitāmaha, icchāmy aha tvayākhyātaṃ vihitaṃ yat surarṣibhiḥ.

Yudhiṣṭhira perguntou: “Ó o melhor dos Bhāratas, a quem os antigos brāhmaṇas declaram como o melhor recipiente para dádivas e convites: o brāhmaṇa brahmacārin que traz os sinais da disciplina ascética, como o bastão e o pote de água, ou o brāhmaṇa chefe de família, sem tais sinais externos? E, se se ouve falar, mesmo de longe, de um brāhmaṇa virtuoso, honrado pelos bons, deve-se chamá-lo de lá e prestar-lhe culto e acolhimento de todas as maneiras.”
