[व] सुरा पानाद वञ्चनां परापयित्वा; संज्ञा नाशं चैव तथातिघॊरम दृष्ट्वा कचं चापि तथाभिरूपं; पीतं तदा सुरया मॊहितेन ॥ १-७१-५२ ॥
'Vaisampayana continued, 'The learned Sukra, having been deceived while under the influence of wine, and remembering the total loss of consciousness that is one of the terrible consequences of drink, and beholding too before him the handsome Kacha whom he had, in a state of unconsciousness, drunk with his wine, then thought of effecting a reform in the manners of Brahmanas.' ॥ 1-71-52 ॥

मया चेमां विप्र धर्मॊक्ति सीमां; मर्यादां वै सथापितां सर्वलॊके सन्तॊ विप्राः शुश्रुवांसॊ गुरूणां; देवा लॊकाश चॊपशृण्वन्तु सर्वे ॥ १-७१-५५ ॥
'I have thus established this boundary of conduct as prescribed by the scriptures for all the worlds. Let the virtuous Brahmanas, who are obedient to their mentors, and all the gods and worlds, hear and adhere to this decree.' ॥ 1-71-55 ॥
