That Brahmana who is destitute of Vedic study, is like a fire made by burning grass or straw; and becomes soon put out even like such a fire. The offerings inade at Shraddhas should not be given to him even as libations should not be poured on the ashes of the sacrificial fire.
सम्भोजनी नाम पिशाचदक्षिणा सा नैव देवान् न पितृनुपैति। इहैव सा भ्राम्यति हीनपुण्या शालान्तरे गौरिव नष्टवत्सा॥
