That son, who, being born of parents and brought up by them and when he comes to age, does not maintain them on his turn, commits the sin of killing a foetus. There is no sinner like him in the world.
भृतो वृद्धो यो न बिभर्ति पुत्रः स्वयोनिजः पितरं मातरं च। तद् वै पापं भ्रूणहत्याविशिष्टं तस्मान्नान्य पापकृदस्ति लोके।॥
