असमाप्ते तु कर्मणि याज्यं याजकं वा त्यजतः पूर्वः साहस दण्डः ॥
If a sacrificer sending out a priest happens to be a person who has not kept the sacrificial fire, or to be a preceptor or one who has already performed sacrifices, then the fines shall be 100, 1000, and 1000 panas respectively.
english translation
अनाहित अग्निः शत गुरु यज्वा च सहस्रगुः । सुरापो वृषली भर्ता ब्रह्महा गुरु तल्पगः ॥
As it is certain that sacrificial merits fall in value when performed in company with a drunkard, the husband of a Súdra woman, a murderer of a Bráhman,
english translation
असत् प्रतिग्रहे युक्तः स्तेनः कुत्सित याजकः । अदोषस् त्यक्तुम् अन्योन्यं कर्म संकर निश्चयात् ॥
or one who has violated the chastify of the wife of his preceptor, a receiver of condemnable gifts, or is a thief, or one whose performance of sacrificial acts is condemnable, it is no offence to send out such a priest.
