एवमर्थं निवेद्याथ ततो विप्रं प्रपूजयेत् । यथाशक्त्या द्विजश्रेष्ठा वित्तशाठ्यं विवर्जयेत्
evamarthaṃ nivedyātha tato vipraṃ prapūjayet | yathāśaktyā dvijaśreṣṭhā vittaśāṭhyaṃ vivarjayet
இவ்வாறு வேண்டுதலைச் சமர்ப்பித்த பின், ஒரு பிராமணரை முறையாகப் பூஜித்து மரியாதை செய்ய வேண்டும். ஹே த்விஜச்ரேஷ்டா! இயன்ற அளவு செல்வத்தில் வஞ்சகத்தைத் தவிர்க்க வேண்டும்।
