That portion of Brahmanicide which you will take upon yourself shall immediately enter into, and leaving you shall live in, that man who, overwhelmed by the quality of darkness, will abstain from offering your blazing form, seeds, herbs, and juices. O carrier of oblations, let the fever of your heart be dispelled.
ब्रह्मोवाच यस्त्वांज्वलन्तमासाद्य स्वयं वै मानवः क्वचित्। बीजौषधिरसैर्वते न यक्ष्यति तमोवृतः॥ तमेषा यास्यति क्षिप्रं तत्रैव च निवत्स्यति। ब्रह्मवध्या हव्यवाह व्येतु ते मानसो ज्वरः॥
