तस्मात्सर्वास्ववस्थासु कौलपत्यं न कारयेत्। यमिच्छेन्नरकं नेतुं सपुत्रपशुबान्धवम्॥ देवेष्वधिष्ठितं कुर्याद्गोषु तं ब्राह्मणेषु च।

tasmātsarvāsvavasthāsu kaulapatyaṃ na kārayet| yamicchennarakaṃ netuṃ saputrapaśubāndhavam|| deveṣvadhiṣṭhitaṃ kuryādgoṣu taṃ brāhmaṇeṣu ca|

English Meaning

He will by no means be able to discharge the duties of a head of a family. He, whom you wishes to take to hell with her son, beasts and friends, should be engaged in the serving the Brāhmaṇs and kine.
