yathā paṅkena paṅkāmbhaḥ surayā vā surākṛtam /
bhūtahatyāṃ tathaivaikāṃ na yajñairmārṣṭum arhati //
52. Just as one cannot purify miry water by means of mire, or wash out the profanation of liquor by means of liquor, so one cannot wipe out the sin arising from a single act of murder by any number of sacrifices (which consist of wilful slaughter of animals.)
