2.48.15

śūdraṃ vapuḥ prāpya yaśaskaraṃ sadā dānaṃ dvijebhyo na kṛtaṃ dvijārcanam /
cdṛdadyatdadvaḍḍha ḍhaddhadṛthr dadṛdhḍḍhathrḍaḍḍhaddha
jalāśayo naiva kṛto dharātale asaṃskṛto vipravaro na saṃskṛtaḥ //

“Having obtained a śūdra body, glorious gifts were never given to the twice-born, nor worship of the twice-born; / […] / no reservoir of water was made on the surface of the earth, and no distinguished vipra, uninitiated, was honoured.”
