MBh 12.63.8

Canonical Ref: MBh 12.63.8
Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)
तस्माद्धर्मो विहितो ब्राह्मणस्य; दमः शौचं चार्जवं चापि राजन् । तथा विप्रस्याश्रमाः सर्व एव; पुरा राजन्ब्रह्मणा वै निसृष्टाः ॥
English Scholarly Translation
Whatever presents of food dedicated to the departed manes are made to Brahmanas, who have transgressed all restraints or become impure in conduct or addicted to wicked callings and cruel acts or who have neglected their legitimate duties, yield on merit (to the giver.) Therefore, O king, self-control, purity and simplicity have been laid down as the duties of a Brahmana. Besides these, O king, all the four modes of life were prescribed by Brahman for him.
