Listen again to me. That Brahmana who has been compelled by want to fast for three days, may take away without permission, according to the rule of a person who cares only for toclay and not for the morrow, only what is necessary for a single mcal, from the husking tub or the field or the garden or any other place of even a degraded man. He should, however, whether asked or unasked, inform the king of his deed.
तथैव शृणु मे भक्तं भक्तानि षडनश्नतः। अश्वस्तनविधानेन हर्तव्यं हीनकर्मणः॥ खलात् क्षेत्रात् तथा रामाद् यतो वाप्युपपद्यते। आख्यातव्यं नृपस्यैतत् पृच्छतेऽपृच्छतेऽपि वा॥
