Vasishtha said Let him who had stolen the lotusstalks abstain from reading the Vedas, or leash hounds, or be wandering mendicant unrestrained by the ordinances laid down for that mode of life, or be a destroyer of persons who seek refuge with him, or live upon the proceeds of the sale of his daughter, or solicit riches fro, those who are low and vile.
वसिष्ठ उवाच अनध्याये पठल्लोके शुनः स परिकर्षतु। परिव्राट कामवृत्तस्तु बिसस्तैन्यं करोति यः॥ शरणागतं हन्तु स वै स्वसुतां चोपजीवतु। अर्थान् काङ्क्षतु कीनाशाद् बिसस्तैन्यं करोति यः॥
