16.28.48
hatvā gāvo varaṃ māṃsaṃ bhakṣayīta dvijādhamaḥ ..
varaṃ jīvansamaṃ matsyairna kuryādvedavikrayam ..
brahmahatyāsamaṃ pāpaṃ na bhūtaṃ na bhaviṣyati .. 48 ..
Better that the lowest of the twice-born should kill cows and eat their flesh, / better that he should live like fish, than that he sell the Veda; / a sin equal to the murder of a brahmin has never been nor will ever be.
