11.5.4.16
tadāhuḥ na brahmaṇam brahmacaryamupanīya mithunaṃ caredgarbho vā eṣa bhavati yo brahmacaryamupaiti nedimam brahmaṇaṃ viṣiktādretaso janayānīti
As to this they say, 'When one has admitted a Brâhmana to a term of studentship, he should not carry on sexual intercourse, lest he should generate this Brâhmana from shed seed; for, indeed, he who enters on a term of studentship becomes an embryo.'
