तस्मात्सर्वप्रयत्नेन कृत्वा पापं विजानता । प्रायश्चित्तं तु कर्तव्यं यथोक्तं ब्राह्मणो दितम्
tasmātsarvaprayatnena kṛtvā pāpaṃ vijānatā | prāyaścittaṃ tu kartavyaṃ yathoktaṃ brāhmaṇo ditam
پس جو شخص جانتا ہو کہ اس سے گناہ سرزد ہوا ہے، اسے پوری کوشش کے ساتھ برہمنوں کے بیان کردہ حکم کے مطابق بعینہٖ پرایَشچِتّ (کفّارہ) ضرور کرنا چاہیے۔
