Matsyapurana 112.12

112.12

ṛṣibhiḥ kratavaḥ proktā devaiścāpi yathākramam
na hi śakyā daridreṇa yajñāḥ prāptuṃ mahīpate //

One who is free from the feeling of anger, is truthful and regards all the beings like himself, also attains the merits of a pilgrimage to this tîrtha.—11. O, King! The Yajñas, defined by the Seers and the Devas, cannot be performed by a man of limited means. Consequently the benefits accruing from such sacrifices are attainable only to the well-to-do and not to the poor.—12-13.
