1.10.44

madhyāhnaḥ khaḍgapātraṃ ca tathā nepālakambalaḥ |
raupyaṃ darbhās tilā gāvo daughitraś cāṣṭamaḥ smṛtaḥ ||
pāpaṃ kutsitam ity āhus tasya saṃtāpakāriṇaḥ |
aṣṭāv ete yatas tasmāt kutapā iti viśrutā ||
iti || 1.226 || (MatsPu 22. 86–87)

"Midday, a rhinoceros-horn vessel, a Nepalese woollen blanket,
silver, darbha-grass, sesame seeds, cows, and a daughter's son is recorded as the eighth.
Sin is said to be 'despicable' (kutsita); because they destroy the distress produced by it,
these eight are well known as the kutapas."
(MatsPu 22.86–87) // 1.226
