indriyāṇi yaśaḥ svargam āyuḥ kīrtiṃ prajāḥ paśūn
hanty alpadakṣiṇo yajñas tasmān nālpadhano yajet //

The organs (of sense and action), honour, (bliss in) heaven, longevity, fame, offspring, and cattle are destroyed by a sacrifice at which (too) small sacrificial fees are given; hence a man of small means should not offer a (Srauta) sacrifice.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
