ye brāhmaṇaṃ pratyaṣṭhīvan ye vāsmiñchulkamīṣire /
asnaste madhye kulyāyāḥ keśān khādanta āsate

brahmagavī pacyamānā yāvatsābhi vijaṅgahe /
tejo rāṣṭrasya nirhanti na vīro jāyate vṛṣā

krūramasyā āśasanaṃ tṛṣṭaṃ piśitamasyate /
kṣīraṃ yadasyāḥ pīyate tadvai pitṛṣu kilbiṣam

ugro rājā manyamāno brāhmaṇaṃ yo jighatsati /
parā tatsicyate rāṣṭraṃ brāhmaṇo yatra jīyate

aṣṭāpadī caturakṣī catuḥśrotrā caturhanuḥ /
dvyāsyā dvijihvā bhūtvā sā rāṣṭramava dhūnute brahmajyasya

tadvai rāṣṭramā sravati nāvaṃ bhinnāmivodakam /
brahmāṇaṃ yatra hiṃsanti tadrāṣṭraṃ hanti duchunā

taṃ vṛkṣā apa sedhanti chāyāṃ no mopa gā iti /
yo brāhmaṇasya saddhanamabhi nārada manyate

na brāhmaṇasya gāṃ jagdhvā rāstre jāgāra kaścana

navaiva tā navatayo yā bhūmirvyadhūnuta /
prajāṃ hiṃsitvā brāhmaṇīmasaṃbhavyaṃ parābhavan

yāṃ mṛtāyānubadhnanti kūdyaṃ padayopanīm /
tadvai brahmajya te devā upastaraṇamabruvan

aśrūṇi kṛpamānasya yāni jītasya vāvṛtuḥ /
taṃ vai brahmajya te devā apāṃ bhāgamadhārayan

yena mṛtaṃ snapayanti śmaśrūṇi yenondate /
taṃ vai brahmajya te devā apāṃ bhāgamadhārayan

na varṣaṃ maitrāvaruṇaṃ brahmajyamabhi varṣati /
nāsmai samitiḥ kalpate na mitraṃ nayate vaśam
