3.14.38

asatpratigrahe yuktaḥ stenaḥ kutsitayājakaḥ /
adoṣas tyaktum anyonyaṃ karmasaṃkaraniścayāt //E

As it is certain that sacrificial merits fall in value when performed in company with a drunkard, the husband of a Súdra woman, a murderer of a Bráhman, or one who has violated the chastify of the wife of his preceptor, a receiver of condemnable gifts, or is a thief, or one whose performance of sacrificial acts is condemnable, it is no offence to send out such a priest.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
