9.19.1

brahmagavī pacyamānā
yāvat sābhi vijaṅgahe |
tejo rāṣṭrasya nir hanti
na vīro jāyate pumān ||

9.19.2

ākramaṇena vai devā
dviṣanto ghnanti pūruṣam |
steyādaṃ brahmajyaṃ
kṣetre cānṛtavādinam ||

9.19.3

viṣam etad devakṛtaṃ
rājā varuṇo abravīt |
na brāhmaṇasya gāṃ jagdhvā
rāṣṭre jāgāra kaś cana ||

9.19.4

tad vai rāṣṭram ā sravati
bhinnāṃ nāvam ivodakam |
brāhmaṇo yatra jīyate
tad rāṣṭraṃ hanti ducchunā ||

9.19.5

ekaśataṃ vai janatā
bhūmir yā vyadhūnuta |
prajāṃ hiṃsitvā brāhmaṇīm
asaṃbhavyaṃ parābhavan ||

9.19.6

yām udājann ṛṣayo manīṣiṇaḥ
śramasātāṃ bṛhatīṃ devajūtām |
sā brahmajyaṃ pacati pacyamānā
rāṣṭram asya bṛhatī yac ca varcaḥ ||

9.19.7

vācā brāhmaṇam ṛcchati
jāmi hanty acittyā |
mitrāya satye druhyati
yaṃ devā ghnanti pūruṣam ||
