5.5.4.9
catvāro vai varṇāḥ | brāhmaṇo rājanyo vaiśyaḥ śūdro na haiteṣāmekaścana bhavati yaḥ somaṃ vamati sa yaddhaiteṣāmekaścitsyā tasyāddhaiva prāyaścittiḥ
For there are four castes, the Brâhmana, the Râganya, the Vaisya, and the Sûdra; but there is not one of them that vomits Soma; but were there any one of them, then indeed there would be atonement.
