3.168

anadhīyānas tṛṇāgnir iva śāmyati
tasmai havyaṃ na dātavyaṃ na hi bhasmani hūyate //

As a fire of dry grass is (unable to consume the offerings and is quickly) extinguished, even so (is it with) an unlearned Brahmana; sacrificial food must not be given to him, since it (would be) offered in ashes.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
