Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A Brāhmaṇa shall not name his family and (Vedic) gotra in order to obtain a meal; for he who boasts of them for the sake of a meal, is called by the wise a foul feeder (vantaUin). no. But a Kshatriya (who comes) to the house of a Brāhmaṇa is not called a guest (atithi), nor a Vaiśya, nor a Śudra, nor a personal friend, nor a relative, nor the teacher. in. But if a Kshatriya comes to the house of a Brāhmaṇa in the manner of a guest, (the householder) may feed him according to his desire, after the above-mentioned Brāhmaṇas have eaten.
