निष्पन्ने हरित पक्व आदानं वारयेयुः, अन्यत्र शाक कट भङ्ग मुष्टिभ्यां देव पितृ पूजा दान अर्थं गव अर्थं वा ॥

When crops are ripe, they may beg a portion of vegetable and other ripe produce except what is gleaned in the form of vegetables and grains. They shall avoid the grains scattered in harvest-fields, so that they may be utilised in making offerings to gods and ancestors on occasions of worship, in feeding cows, or for the subsistence of mendicants and village employees (grâlmabhritaka).
