Animandavya said : You have inflicted upon me a great punishment for a little fault. Therefore o Dharma, you will be born as a man in the womb of a Shudra woman. I establish this rule today on earth in respect of the consequences of one's act that no sin will be committed in any act done by a man below the age of fourteen years. When committed only above that age, it will be sin.”
अणीमाण्डव्य उवाच अल्पेऽपराधेऽपि महान् मम दण्डस्त्वया कृतः। शूद्रयोनावतो धर्म मानुषः सम्भविष्यसि। मर्यादां स्थापयाम्यद्य लोके धर्मफलोदयाम्॥ आ चतुर्दशकाद् वर्षान्न भविष्यति पातकम्। परतः कुर्वतामेवं दोष एव भविष्यति॥
