क्रीत्वा स्वयं वा-अप्य् उत्पाद्य परौपकृतम् एव वा । देवान् पित्क़्ंश् च-अर्चयित्वा खादन् मांसं न दुष्यति ॥

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
He who eats meat, when he honours the gods and manes, commits no sin, whether he has bought it, or himself has killed (the animal), or has received it as a present from others.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
