yamakiṅkara uvāca
patitāt pratigṛhyārthaṃ kharayoniṃ vrajed dvijaḥ /

Yama’s officer spoke:
“For accepting anything of value from an outcaste,[1] let a dvija be born an ass: but let him who sacrifices for the outcaste become a worm, on his release from hell.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
