Observing vows, one should celebrate sacrifices and please with wealth, such Brahmanas as are friends of all creatures, endued with righteousness, conversant of the Vedas, and pre-eminent for acts, conduct and penances.
ब्राह्मणांस्तर्पयन् द्रव्यस्ततो यज्ञे यतव्रतः। मैत्रान् साधून् वेदविदः शीलवृत्ततपोर्जितान्॥
