स्रुवप्रग्रहणो व्रात्यः कीनाशश्चार्थवानपि । रक्षेत्युक्तश्च यो हिंस्यात्सर्वे ब्रह्महणैः समाः॥५-३५-४१॥
One who improperly takes up the sacrificial ladle, an outcaste (vrātya), a cultivator even if wealthy, and one who—having been instructed to protect—causes harm: all these are regarded as equivalent to a slayer of a brahmin.
