93.111

annahīno dahedrāṣṭraṃ mantrahīnastu ṛtvijaḥ
yaṣṭāraṃ dakṣiṇāhīnaṃ nāsti yajñasamo ripuḥ //

There is no greater enemy of mankind than an ill-conducted sacrifice; for the priests, if not versed in the rituals, are destroyed, and the devotee is destroyed by not giving Dakṣiṇâ, and the country is destroyed where food grain is not given in charity.—111.

A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam
