trayāṇām bhakṣāṇām ekam āhariṣyanti:
somaṃ vā dadhi vāpo vā
sa yadi somam, brāhmaṇānāṃ sa bhakṣo:
brāhmaṇāṃs tena bhakṣeṇa jinviṣyasi,
brāhmaṇakalpas te prajāyām ājaniṣyata
ādāyy āpāyy āvasāyī yathākāmaprayāpyo.
yadā vai kṣatriyāya pāpam bhavati,
brāhmaṇakalpo 'sya prajāyām ājāyata,
īśvaro hāsmād dvitīyo vā tṛtīyo vā brāhmaṇatām abhyupaitoḥ,
sa brahmabandhavena jijyūṣito
'tha yadi dadhi, vaiśyānāṃ sa bhakṣo:
vaiśyāṃs tena bhakṣeṇa jinviṣyasi,
vaiśyakalpas te prajāyām ājaniṣyate
'nyasya balikṛd anyasyādyo yathākāmajyeyo.
yadā vai kṣatriyāya pāpam bhavati,
vaiśyakalpo 'sya prajāyām ājāyata,
īśvaro hāsmād dvitīyo vā tṛtīyo vā vaiśyatām abhyupaitoḥ,
sa vaiśyatayā jijyūṣito
'tha yady apaḥ, śūdrāṇāṃ sa bhakṣaḥ:
śūdrāṃs tena bhakṣeṇa jinviṣyasi,
śūdrakalpas te prajāyām ājaniṣyate
'nyasya preṣyaḥ kāmotthāpyo yathākāmavadhyo.
yadā vai kṣatriyāya pāpam bhavati,

īśvaro hāsmād dvitīyo vā tṛtīyo vā śūdratām abhyupaitoḥ,
sa śūdratayā jijyūṣitaḥ

vii. 29 (xxxv. 3). ‘They will bring one of three foods, the Soma or curds or water. If the Soma (they bring up), that is the food of the Brahmans; with this food thou wilt strengthen the Brahmans; in thine offspring will be born one like a Brahman, an acceptor of gifts, a drinker (of Soma), a seeker of livelihood, one to be moved at will. When evil happens to a Kṣatriya one like a Brahman is born in his offspring; the second or third from him may become a Brahman; he is fain to live as a sort of Brahman. If curds (they bring), it is the food of the Vaiçyas; with this food thou wilt strengthen the Vaiçyas; in thine offspring one like a Vaiçya will be born, tributary to another, to be eaten by another, to be oppressed at will. When evil happens to a Kṣatriya, there is born in his offspring one like a Vaiçya; the second or third from him may become a Vaiçya; he is fain to live as a Vaiçya. If water (they bring), it is the food of the Çūdras; with this food thou wilt strengthen the Çūdras; in thine offspring one like a Çūdra will be born, the servant of another, to be removed at will, to be slain at will. When evil happens to a Kṣatriya, there is born in his offspring one like a Çūdra; the second or third from him may become a Çūdra; he is fain to live as a Çūdra.’
