He who commits adultery with those who place trust in him and who does the same with the wife of his elder, that twice-born who becomes the husband of a Shudra woman, who is given to drinking, O Bharata, who commands the twice-born or takes away their livings, who becomes their master and who kills him who demands his protection, these are like those who kill the Brahmanas. After coming in contract with one of these, expiation should be performed, which the Shrutis declare.
एत एवासयस्तीक्ष्णा कृन्तन्त्यायूंषि देहिनाम्। एतानि मानवान् प्रन्ति न मृत्युर्भद्रमस्तु ते॥ विश्वस्तस्यैति यो दारान् यश्चापि गुरुतल्पगः। वृषलीपतिर्द्विजो यश्च पानपश्चैव भारत।॥ आदेशकृद् वृत्तिहन्ता द्विजानां प्रेषकश्च यः। शरणागतहा चैव सर्वे ब्रह्महणः समाः। एतैः समेत्य कर्तव्यं प्रायश्चित्तमिति श्रुतिः॥
