Dharma said The offerings made in all rites in honour of the celestials and in those in honour of the departed Manes, should never be given away to a Brahmana who has accepted service under the king or who rings the bell or attends to minor duties in acts of worship or at Shraddhas, or who keeps kine or who drives a trade, or who follows some art as a profession, or who is an actor, or who quarrels with friends or who is destitute of Vedic studies, or who marries a Shudra woman.
धर्म उवाच राजपौरुषिके विप्रे घाण्टिके परिचारिके। गोरक्षके वाणिजके तथा कारुकुशीलवे॥ मित्रदुह्यनधीयाने यश्च स्याद् वृषलीपतिः। एतेषु दैवं पित्र्यं वा न देयं स्यात् कथंचन॥
