Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
The sense is that the man becomes born in that species of creatures where ordure is eaten.

Similarly, with the physician.

‘Becomes lost’—i.e., fruitless; or source of anxiety; anything that is ‘lost’ becomes a source of anxiety.

That which has no place, no existence at all, is called ‘apratiṣṭham.’

Various forms of expression have been used here to show the fruitlessness of the gift and also the evils attaching to the giver. The terms ‘lost’ and ‘without place’ should not be regarded as synonymous, as there is a distinct difference in their effects.—(180)
