bhavet sarvātithiḥ paścāt saḥ rājan ketanakṣamaḥ
32. O king, having first acquired wealth through arduous agricultural endeavors, a person who subsequently becomes a host to all (guests) is truly capable of maintaining a proper home.
ब्रह्मविक्रयनिर्दिष्टं स्त्रिया यच्चार्जितं धनम् ।
अदेयं पितृदेवेभ्यो यच्च क्लैब्यादुपार्जितम् ॥३३॥
33. brahmavikrayanirdiṣṭaṁ striyā yaccārjitaṁ dhanam ,
adeyaṁ pitṛdevebhyo yacca klaibyādupārjitam.
33. brahmavikrayanirdiṣṭam striyā yat ca arjitam dhanam
| adeyam pitṛdevebhyaḥ yat ca klaibyāt upārjitam
33. And that wealth which is designated as (obtained by) selling sacred knowledge (brahman), and that which is earned by a woman, and that which is acquired due to impotence, is not to be given to the ancestors and gods.
क्रियमाणेऽपवर्गे तु यो द्विजो भरतर्षभ ।
न व्याहरति यद्युक्तं तस्याधर्मो गवानृतम् ॥३४॥
34. kriyamāṇe'pavarge tu yo dvijo bharatarṣabha ,

34. kriyamāṇe apavarge tu yaḥ dvijaḥ bharatarṣabha |
na vyāharati yat yuktam tasya adharmaḥ gavanṛtam
34. O best among the Bharatas, if a twice-born (dvija), while a ritual (or act) is being concluded, does not speak what is appropriate, then his transgression of natural law (adharma) is equivalent to the sin of lying about a cow.
श्राद्धस्य ब्राह्मणः कालः प्राप्तं दधि घृतं तथा ।
सोमक्षयश्च मांसं च यदारण्यं युधिष्ठिर ॥३५॥
35. śrāddhasya brāhmaṇaḥ kālaḥ prāptaṁ dadhi ghṛtaṁ tathā ,
somakṣayaśca māṁsaṁ ca yadāraṇyaṁ yudhiṣṭhira.
35. śrāddhasya brāhmaṇaḥ kālaḥ prāptam dadhi ghṛtam tathā
| somakṣayaḥ ca māṁsam ca yat āraṇyam yudhiṣṭhira
35. O Yudhiṣṭhira, for the ancestral ritual (śrāddha), the presence of a worthy Brahmin is the auspicious time, and likewise, readily available curd and ghee, and the waning of the moon, and any wild meat that is obtained (are also auspicious elements).
श्राद्धापवर्गे विप्रस्य स्वधा वै स्वदिता भवेत् ।
क्षत्रियस्याप्यथो ब्रूयात्प्रीयन्तां पितरस्त्विति ॥३६॥
36. śrāddhāpavarge viprasya svadhā vai svaditā bhavet ,
kṣatriyasyāpyatho brūyātprīyantāṁ pitarastviti.
36. śrāddhāpavarge viprasya svadhā vai svaditā bhavet
kṣatriyasya api atho brūyāt prīyantām pitaraḥ tu iti
36. viprasya śrāddhāpavarge svadhā vai svaditā bhavet
atho kṣatriyasya api pitaraḥ tu prīyantām iti brūyāt
36. At the completion of a śrāddha (ritual for ancestors) for a brahmin, the utterance 'svadhā' should indeed be made. For a kṣatriya, one should then say, 'May the ancestors be pleased'.
अपवर्गे तु वैश्यस्य श्राद्धकर्मणि भारत ।
अक्षय्यमभिधातव्यं स्वस्ति शूद्रस्य भारत ॥३७॥
37. apavarge tu vaiśyasya śrāddhakarmaṇi bhārata ,
akṣayyamabhidhātavyaṁ svasti śūdrasya bhārata.
37. apavarge tu vaiśyasya śrāddhakarmaṇi bhārata
akṣayyam abhidhātavyam svasti śūdrasya bhārata
37. bhārata bhārata vaiśyasya śrāddhakarmaṇi apavarge
tu akṣayyam abhidhātavyam śūdrasya svasti
37. However, O Bhārata, at the conclusion of the śrāddha (ritual for ancestors) for a vaiśya, the word 'akṣayyam' (imperishable) should be pronounced. And for a śūdra, 'svasti' (well-being), O Bhārata.
पुण्याहवाचनं दैवे ब्राह्मणस्य विधीयते ।
एतदेव निरोंकारं क्षत्रियस्य विधीयते ।
वैश्यस्य चैव वक्तव्यं प्रीयन्तां देवता इति ॥३८॥
38. puṇyāhavācanaṁ daive brāhmaṇasya vidhīyate ,
etadeva niroṁkāraṁ kṣatriyasya vidhīyate ,
vaiśyasya caiva vaktavyaṁ prīyantāṁ devatā iti.
38. puṇyāhavācanam daive brāhmaṇasya

38. daive brāhmaṇasya puṇyāhavācanam
vidhīyate etat eva niroṃkāram
kṣatriyasya vidhīyate vaiśyasya ca
eva devatā prīyantām iti vaktavyam
38. The puṇyāhavācana (utterance for an auspicious day) is prescribed for a brahmin in divine (daiva) ceremonies. This very same ritual, but without the utterance of Om (oṃkāra), is prescribed for a kṣatriya. And for a vaiśya, it should be stated, 'May the deities be pleased'.
कर्मणामानुपूर्वीं च विधिपूर्वकृतं शृणु ।
जातकर्मादिकान्सर्वांस्त्रिषु वर्णेषु भारत ।
ब्रह्मक्षत्रे हि मन्त्रोक्ता वैश्यस्य च युधिष्ठिर ॥३९॥
39. karmaṇāmānupūrvīṁ ca vidhipūrvakṛtaṁ śṛṇu ,

ca vidhipūrvakṛtam jātakarmādikān
sarvān triṣu varṇeṣu śṛṇu hi
brahmakṣatre mantroktā vaiśyasya ca
39. O Bhārata, listen to the proper sequence of all rituals, beginning with jātakarma (birth ritual), which are performed according to sacred injunctions, for the three classes (varṇas). Indeed, for the brahmins and kṣatriyas, these are accompanied by sacred chants (mantras), and similarly for the vaiśya, O Yudhishthira.
विप्रस्य रशना मौञ्जी मौर्वी राजन्यगामिनी ।
बाल्वजीत्येव वैश्यस्य धर्म एष युधिष्ठिर ॥४०॥
40. viprasya raśanā mauñjī maurvī rājanyagāminī ,
bālvajītyeva vaiśyasya dharma eṣa yudhiṣṭhira.
40. viprasya raśanā mauñjī maurvī rājanyagāminī
bālvajī iti eva vaiśyasya dharmaḥ eṣaḥ yudhiṣṭhira
40. yudhiṣṭhira eṣaḥ dharmaḥ.
viprasya raśanā mauñjī.
maurvī rājanyagāminī.
vaiśyasya bālvajī iti eva.
40. O Yudhiṣṭhira, this is the constitution (dharma) regarding the girdles: the muñja girdle is for the brahmin; the mūrvā girdle is for the kṣatriya; and the balvaja girdle is specifically for the vaiśya.
दातुः प्रतिग्रहीतुश्च धर्माधर्माविमौ शृणु ।
ब्राह्मणस्यानृतेऽधर्मः प्रोक्तः पातकसंज्ञितः ।
चतुर्गुणः क्षत्रियस्य वैश्यस्याष्टगुणः स्मृतः ॥४१॥
41. dātuḥ pratigrahītuśca dharmādharmāvimau śṛṇu ,
brāhmaṇasyānṛte'dharmaḥ proktaḥ pātakasaṁjñitaḥ ,
caturguṇaḥ kṣatriyasya vaiśyasyāṣṭaguṇaḥ smṛtaḥ.
41. dātuḥ pratigrahītuḥ ca dharmādharmau
imau śṛṇu brāhmaṇasya anṛte adharmaḥ
proktaḥ pātakasaṃjñitaḥ caturguṇaḥ
kṣatriyasya vaiśyasya aṣṭaguṇaḥ smṛtaḥ
41. imau dātuḥ ca pratigrahītuḥ dharmādharmau śṛṇu.
brāhmaṇasya anṛte adharmaḥ pātakasaṃjñitaḥ proktaḥ.
kṣatriyasya caturguṇaḥ.
vaiśyasya aṣṭaguṇaḥ smṛtaḥ.
41. Listen now to these aspects of right (dharma) and wrong (adharma) pertaining to both the giver and the receiver. For a brahmin, speaking untruth is declared an unrighteous act and considered a transgression (pātaka). For a kṣatriya, this offense is remembered as four times as severe, and for a vaiśya, eight times.
नान्यत्र ब्राह्मणोऽश्नीयात्पूर्वं विप्रेण केतितः ।
यवीयान्पशुहिंसायां तुल्यधर्मो भवेत्स हि ॥४२॥
42. nānyatra brāhmaṇo'śnīyātpūrvaṁ vipreṇa ketitaḥ ,
yavīyānpaśuhiṁsāyāṁ tulyadharmo bhavetsa hi.
42. na anyatra brāhmaṇaḥ aśnīyāt pūrvaṃ vipreṇa ketitaḥ
yavīyān paśuhiṃsāyām tulyadharmaḥ bhavet saḥ hi
42. brāhmaṇaḥ pūrvaṃ vipreṇa ketitaḥ anyatra na aśnīyāt.
hi saḥ yavīyān paśuhiṃsāyām tulyadharmaḥ bhavet.
42. A brahmin should not eat anywhere else unless first invited by another brahmin. If he does, he will indeed share the same unrighteous consequence (adharma) as one involved in animal violence.
अथ राजन्यवैश्याभ्यां यद्यश्नीयात्तु केतितः ।
यवीयान्पशुहिंसायां भागार्धं समवाप्नुयात् ॥४३॥
43. atha rājanyavaiśyābhyāṁ yadyaśnīyāttu ketitaḥ ,
yavīyānpaśuhiṁsāyāṁ bhāgārdhaṁ samavāpnuyāt.
43. atha rājanyavaiśyābhyām yadi aśnīyāt tu ketitaḥ
yavīyān paśuhiṃsāyām bhāgārdham samavāpnuyāt
43. atha yadi rājanyavaiśyābhyām ketitaḥ aśnīyāt tu,
yavīyān paśuhiṃsāyām bhāgārdham samavāpnuyāt.
43. Now, if he eats, having been invited by a kṣatriya or a vaiśya, then he (the brahmin who accepts the invitation) would incur half the moral consequence (adharma) of animal violence.
दैवं वाप्यथ वा पित्र्यं योऽश्नीयाद्ब्राह्मणादिषु ।
अस्नातो ब्राह्मणो राजंस्तस्याधर्मो गवानृतम् ॥४४॥
44. daivaṁ vāpyatha vā pitryaṁ yo'śnīyādbrāhmaṇādiṣu ,

44. daivam vā api atha vā pitryam yaḥ aśnīyāt brāhmaṇa-ādiṣu

44. rājan yaḥ asnātaḥ brāhmaṇaḥ daivam vā api atha vā
pitryam brāhmaṇa-ādiṣu aśnīyāt tasya adharmaḥ go-anṛtam
44. O King, a brāhmaṇa who, without having bathed, eats at rituals for deities or ancestors, or among brāhmaṇas and others, commits a transgression (adharma) equivalent to lying about cows.
आशौचो ब्राह्मणो राजन्योऽश्नीयाद्ब्राह्मणादिषु ।
ज्ञानपूर्वमथो लोभात्तस्याधर्मो गवानृतम् ॥४५॥
45. āśauco brāhmaṇo rājanyo'śnīyādbrāhmaṇādiṣu ,
jñānapūrvamatho lobhāttasyādharmo gavānṛtam.
45. āśaucaḥ brāhmaṇaḥ rājan yaḥ aśnīyāt brāhmaṇa-ādiṣu

45. rājan yaḥ āśaucaḥ brāhmaṇaḥ jñāna-pūrvam atha u lobhāt
brāhmaṇa-ādiṣu aśnīyāt tasya adharmaḥ go-anṛtam
45. O King, a brāhmaṇa who, being ritually impure (āśauca), eats among brāhmaṇas and others, knowingly and out of greed, commits a transgression (adharma) equivalent to lying about cows.
अन्नेनान्नं च यो लिप्सेत्कर्मार्थं चैव भारत ।
आमन्त्रयति राजेन्द्र तस्याधर्मोऽनृतं स्मृतम् ॥४६॥
46. annenānnaṁ ca yo lipsetkarmārthaṁ caiva bhārata ,

46. annena annam ca yaḥ lipset karma-artham ca eva bhārata

46. bhārata rāja-indra yaḥ annena annam ca karma-artham ca
eva lipset āmantrayati tasya adharmaḥ anṛtam smṛtam
46. O Bhārata, O King of kings, he who desires food by means of food, and invites (people) for the sake of an act (karma), his transgression (adharma) is considered a falsehood (anṛta).
अवेदव्रतचारित्रास्त्रिभिर्वर्णैर्युधिष्ठिर ।

47. avedavratacāritrāstribhirvarṇairyudhiṣṭhira ,

47. yudhiṣṭhira ye aveda-vrata-cāritrāḥ tribhiḥ varṇaiḥ
mantra-vat pariviṣyante teṣu adharmaḥ go-anṛtam
47. O Yudhiṣṭhira, for those who do not adhere to Vedic vows and conduct, though they may be among the three higher classes (varṇa) and are served with mantras, their transgression (adharma) is equivalent to lying about cows.

49. Bhishma said: "O Yudhishthira, indeed, feed those men with the leftovers whose wives wait (for them) like farmers (wait) for good rain."
