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, se um māhiṣika, ou alguém com leucodermia, ou com doença nas unhas, ou um leproso (kuṣṭha)—ainda que seja um dvija—comer a refeição do śrāddha, então essa falta se prenderá ao teu śrāddha.
Brahmā (contextual continuation)
