भिक्षाम् अप्य् उदपात्रं वा सत्कृत्य विधिपूर्वकम् । वेदतत्त्वार्थविदुषे ब्राह्मणाय-उपपादयेत्) ॥
bhikṣām apy udapātraṃ vā satkṛtya vidhipūrvakam | vedatattvārthaviduṣe brāhmaṇāya-upapādayet) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Let him give, in accordance with the rule, to a Brāhmaṇa who knows the true meaning of the Veda, even (a small portion of food as) alms, or a pot full of water, having garnished (the food with seasoning, or the pot with flowers and fruit).
