3.109

na bhojanārthaṃ sve vipraḥ kulagotre nivedayet
bhojanārthaṃ hi te śaṃsan vāntāśīty ucyate budhaiḥ //

A Brahmana shall not name his family and (Vedic) gotra in order to obtain a meal; for he who boasts of them for the sake of a meal, is called by the wise a foul feeder (vantasin).

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
