A Brahmana may be freed off all sins by reciting the Gayatri in a sacred place, living all the while upon restricted fare, casting off malice, abandoning anger and hate, unaffected by praise and blame, and observing the vow of silence.
सावित्रीमप्यधीयीत शुचौ देशे मिताशनः। अहिंसो मन्दकोऽजल्यो मुच्यते सर्वकिल्बिषैः॥
