- "law": "A Kshatriya who has fallen into distress, may subsist by all these means, but he must never arrogantly adopt the mode of life prescribed for his betters. A Vaisya who is unable to subsist by his own duties, may even maintain himself by a Sudra's mode of life, avoiding however acts forbidden to him, and he should give it up, when he is able to do so. But a Sudra, being unable to find service with the twice-born and threatened with the loss of his sons and wife (through hunger), may maintain himself by handicrafts. It is better to discharge one's own appointed duty incompletely than to perform completely that of another. For he who lives according to the law of another caste is instantly excluded from his own. A man of low caste who through covetousness lives by the occupations of a higher one, the king shall deprive of his property and banish.",

By teaching, by sacrificing for, and by accepting gifts from despicable men Brahmanas in distress commit not sin. For they are as pure as fire and water.",
