He who, without being governed by the restrains of the Scriptures, sells a cow, or kills one, or eats the flesh of a cow, or they who, for the sake of money, allow a person to kill kine, all these, viz., he that kills, he that eats, and he that allows the destriction, rot in hell for as many years as there are hairs on the body of the cow so killed.
विक्रयार्थं हि यो हिंस्याद् भक्षयेद् वा निरङ्कुशः। घातयानं हि पुरुषं येऽनुमन्येयुरर्थिनः॥ घातकः खादको वापि तथा यश्चानुमन्यते। यावन्ति तस्या रोमाणि तावद् वर्षाणि मज्जति॥
