Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A Brāhmaṇa who is distressed through a want of means of subsistence and pines (with hunger), (but) unwilling to adopt a Vaisya's mode of life and resolved to follow his own (prescribed) path, may act in the following manner.
