nahuṣa uvāca |
atithiṃ gṛhastho nudatu kāmavṛtto'stu dīkṣitaḥ |
vidyāṃ prayacchatu bhṛto yaste harati puṣkaram || 28 ||

"Nahusha said, 'Let him who has stolen thy stalks live in domesticity after having betaken himself to the vow of mendicancy! Let him act in whatever way he pleases (and without restraint of any kind), after having undergone the initiatory rites in view of a sacrifice or some solemn observance! Let him take pecuniary gratification for prelections to disciples (on any branch of knowledge that the latter come to learn)!'
