Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
(The initiation) of a Brahma;za who desires proficiency in sacred learning should take place in the fifth (year after conception), (that) of a Kshatriya who wishes to become powerful in the sixth, (and that) of a Vaisya who longs for (success in his) business in the eighth.
