Let him not have a good end. Let him be the father of many children! Let him be always impure and a wretch among Brahmanas! Let him be proud of his possessions! Let him be a tiller of the soil and let him be filled with malice! Let him wander in the season of rains. Let him be a paid servant! Let him be the priest of the king! Let him assist at the sacrifices of such impure persons as do not deserve to be assisted at their sacrifices!'" > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 13.95.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.13.95.66) - [Next: 13.95.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.13.95.68) - [Up: 13.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.13.95) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.13.93.70) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.13.93.128) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.13.95.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.13.95.67) · Pramāṇa
