Sanskrit: ब्रह्महत्या न तस्य स्यादिति धर्मेषू निश्चयः। क्षत्रियाणां स्थितो धर्मं क्षत्रियोऽस्मि तपोधन॥
English: Is not guilty of slaying a Brahmana, such has been authoritatively laid down in the holy books, O you whose only wealth is asceticism, I am a Kshatriya observing the duties of my order.
Sanskrit: यो यथा वर्तते यस्मिंस्तस्मिन्नेव प्रवयर्तयन्। नाधर्मं समवाप्नोति न चाश्रेयश्च विन्दति॥
English: Such a one as myself who treats such according to his merit does not act unrighteously and does not come by evils.
