ityetatkathitaṃ sarvamanyacca śūdrajātiṣu | yasya doṣastu hatyāyāḥ samudbhūto vidhervaśāt

Deductive: Sūta (narrative voice) continuing a dharma-legal exposition
Scene: A solemn judicial inquiry begins: a petitioner brings a grave charge; the judge raises a hand signaling procedure; witnesses stand aside; manuscripts of vidhi are opened.
Moral responsibility is framed through dharma: culpability (doṣa) is to be understood in light of scriptural rule and due process.
No particular tīrtha is cited in this verse; it functions as a transition into rules about fault and punishment.
No ritual is prescribed here; the verse introduces the topic of hatyā-doṣa (culpability for killing) under vidhi.
