अहिंसयित्वा ब्रह्महत्याविधानम् / Brahmahatyā incurred without physical violence
Devanagari script
युधिछिर उवाच न ब्राह्मणं परीक्षेत दैवेषु सततं नर: । कव्यप्रदाने तु बुधा: परीक्ष्यं ब्राह्मणं विदु:,युधिष्ठिरने पूछा--पितामह! विद्वानोंका कहना है कि देवकार्यमें कभी ब्राह्मणकी परीक्षा न करे, किंतु श्राद्धमें अवश्य उसकी परीक्षा करे; इसका क्या कारण है?
Translation
Yudhiṣṭhira perguntou: “Ó Pitāmaha, os sábios dizem que, nos atos destinados aos deuses, não se deve pôr um brâmane à prova; mas que, no śrāddha—na oferenda aos ancestrais—deve-se examiná-lo. Qual é a razão disso?”
