*śukra uvāca

"Henceforth the foolish Brâhmaṇa who drinks wine shall become devoid of Dharma and commit the sin of murdering a Brâhmaṇa and be despised in this world as well as in the next. I have laid down this Law for the Brâhmaṇas in the whole universe, and let the pious Brâhmaṇas know the injunctions of the preceptor and let the Devas and Daityas also listen to these words."—62-63.
