55.21
japyenaiva tu saṃsidhyed brāhmaṇo nātra saṃśayaḥ
kuryād anyan na vā kuryān maitro brāhmaṇa ucyate //
A Brâhmana may beyond doubt obtain final emancipation by solely repeating (those prayers), whether he perform any other religious observance or no; one who is benevolent towards all creatures (and does not slay them for sacrifices) is justly, called a Brâhmana (or one united to Brahman).
