One who kills a Brahmana who deviates from his own duties and who goes armed for killing a man, does not truly become the killer of a Brahmania. In such a case it is the anger of the slayer that proceeds against the anger of the slain.
अपेतं ब्राह्मणं वृत्ताद् यो हन्यादाततायिनम्। न तेन ब्रह्महा स स्यान्मन्युस्तन्मन्युमृच्छति॥
