Nṛga-upākhyāna: Brāhmaṇa-sva and the Consequence of Misappropriated Gift-Cattle (कृकलास-रूपे नृगोपाख्यानम्)
Devanagari script
तदभूमिं वापि पितृभि: श्राद्धकर्म विहन्यते । जो परायी भूमिमें पितरोंके लिये श्राद्ध करता है, अथवा जो उस भूमिको पितरोंके लिये दानमें देता है, उसके वे श्राद्धकर्म और दान दोनों ही नष्ट होते (निष्फल हो जाते) हैं ।।
Translation
ผู้ใดประกอบพิธีศราทธะเพื่อบรรพชนบนผืนดินของผู้อื่น หรือยกผืนนั้นเป็นทานเพื่อบรรพชน พิธีศราทธะและทานของผู้นั้นย่อมสูญเปล่าไร้ผล ดังนั้นผู้มีปัญญาพึงซื้อที่ดินแม้เพียงเล็กน้อยแล้วจึงถวายเป็นทาน
