Devanagari script
ब्राह्मणो हानधीयानस्तृणाग्निरिव शाम्यति । तस्मै श्राद्ध न दातव्यं न हि भस्मनि हूयते
Translation
Sinabi ni Bhishma: Ang Brahmana na walang svādhyāya (sariling pag-aaral at pagbigkas ng Veda) ay kumukupas na parang apoy sa tuyong damo na agad namamatay. Kaya hindi dapat bigyan ng handog sa śrāddha, sapagkat walang nagsasagawa ng homa sa abo.
