चिकित्सकः शल्यकर्तावकीर्णी स्तेनः क्रूरो मद्यपो भ्रूणहा च । सेनाजीवी श्रुतिविक्रायकश्च भृशं प्रियोऽप्यतिथिर्नोदकार्हः॥५-३८-४॥

A physician, a surgeon, one of disreputable conduct, a thief, a cruel person, a habitual drinker, one who destroys an embryo, one who lives by military service, and one who sells sacred learning—however dear—are guests not deemed fit even for the offering of water.
