A drinker of spirituous liquors becomes purified by drinking hot spirit. He is purified by his death, brought on by that hot drink, in the other world. A Brahmana stained by such a sin attains regions of felicity by such a course, and such a course only, and not by any other.
सुरापो वारुणीमुष्णां पीत्वा पापाद् विमुच्यते॥ तया स काये निर्दग्धे मृत्युं वा प्राप्य शुद्ध्यति। लोकांश्च लभते विप्रो नान्यथा लभते हि सः॥
