ardhikaḥ kulamitraṃ ca dāsagopālanāpitāḥ
ete śūdreṣu bhojyānnā yaś cātmānaṃ nivedayet //
One who ploughs the ground for half the crop (and gives the other half to the king or a private person, who is the owner), a friend of the family, a (house-)slave, a herdsman, a barber, and one who announces himself (with the words 'I am your slave'): the food of all such may be eaten, although they are Sûdras.
