One guilty of foeticide is purified by adoring the fire for three years. One guilty for foeticide becomes purifies at even a hundred Yojanas from Mahasara, or the Tirthas called Pushkara, or Prabhasa, or Manasa on the north, if only he sets out for any of them. A slayer of creatures is purged of his sins by saving from impending danger as many creatures of that particular kind as have been killed by him.
त्रीणि वर्षाण्युपास्याग्निं भ्रूणहा विप्रमुच्यते।।२७ महासरः पुष्कराणि प्रभासोत्तरमानसे। अभ्येत्य योजनशतं भ्रूणहा विप्रमुच्यते॥ यावतः प्राणिनो हन्यात् तज्जातीयांस्तु तावतः प्रमीयमानानुन्मोच्य प्राणिहा विप्रमुच्यते॥
