267.34
sthānaṃ piśācaiḥ parigṛhyate vā apūjyatāṃ yātyacireṇa śokaḥ.
vipraiḥ kṛtaṃ yacchubhadaṃ kule syāt prapūjyatāṃ yāti cirañca kālam .. 267.33
He who discarding a man versed in the Vedas gets a hypocrite to officiate at the consecration ceremony, surely brings ruination on his household or an evil spirit gets hold of the temple and no one worships the idol thus consecrated But where Brāhmaṇas officiate there is always prosperity in that house and the idol thus consecrated is worshipped for a very long time to come—34 35
