If inspite of the presence of a pious king on the throne, the sacrifice undertaken by any one, but especially by a Brahmana, cannot be completed for want of only a fulptrt of the estimated cost, then the king should, for the completion of that sacrifice, take away from his relatives the wealth of a Vaishya who has a farge flock of cattle but who is averse from sacrifices and abstains from drinking Soma.
यज्ञश्चेत् प्रतिरुद्धः स्यादंशेनैकेन यज्वनः। ब्राह्मणस्य विशेषेण धार्मिके सति राजनि॥ यो वैश्यः स्याद् बहुपशु-नक्रतुरसोमपः। कुटुम्बात् तस्य तद् वित्तं यज्ञार्थं पार्थिवो हरेत्॥
