śiloñcham apy ādadīta vipro 'jīvan yatas tataḥ
pratigrahāc chilaḥ śreyāṃs tato 'py uñchaḥ praśasyate //

A Brahmana who is unable to maintain himself, should (rather) glean ears or grains from (the field of) any (man); gleaning ears is better than accepting gifts, picking up single grains is declared to be still more laudable.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
