येषां द्विजानां सावित्री नानूच्येत यथाविधि । तांश्चारयित्वा त्रीन् कृच्छ्रान् यथाविध्योपनाययेत् ॥ १९१ ॥
Those twice-born men who may not have been taught the Savitri (at the time) prescribed by the rule, he shall cause to perform three Krikkhra (penances) and afterwards initiate them in accordance with the law.

Let him prescribe the same (expiation) when twice-born men, who follow forbidden occupations or have neglected (to learn) the Veda, desire to perform a penance.

If Brahmanas acquire property by a reprehensible action, they become pure by relinquishing it, muttering prayers, and (performing) austerities.

जपित्वा त्रीणि सावित्र्याः सहस्राणि समाहितः । मासं गोष्ठे पयः पीत्वा मुच्यतेऽसत्प्रतिग्रहात् ॥ १९४ ॥
By muttering with a concentrated mind the Savitri three thousand times, (dwelling) for a month in a cow-house, (and) subsisting on milk, (a man) is freed from (the guilt of) accepting presents from a wicked man.

उपवासकृशं तं तु गोव्रजात् पुनरागतम् । प्रणतं प्रति पृच्छेयुः साम्यं सौम्यैच्छसीति किम् ॥ १९५ ॥
But when he returns from the cow-house, emaciated with his fast, and reverently salutes, (the Brahmanas) shall ask him, ’Friend, dost thou desire to become our equal?’
