Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
(If no learned Brāhmaṇa be at hand), he may rather honour a (virtuous) friend than an enemy, though the latter may be qualified (by learning and so forth); for sacrificial food, eaten by a foe, bears no reward after death.
