शरणागतहा चैव सर्वे ब्रह्महणैः समाः । एतैः समेत्य कर्तव्यं प्रायश्चित्तमिति श्रुतिः॥५-३७-१२॥

And one who kills a person who has sought protection is regarded as equal to a slayer of a brāhmaṇa. Scripture (śruti) declares that, in association with such persons, prāyaścitta—expiatory discipline—is to be undertaken.
