² *na te śakyā daridreṇa yajñāḥ prāptuṃ pitāmaha; bahūpakaraṇa yajñā nānā sambhāravistarāḥ. pārthivai rājaputrair vā śakyāḥ prāptuṃ pitāmaha; nārthanyūnairavaguṇairekātmabhirsaṃhataiḥ.* Mbh. (Kumb.), XIII. 164-2-3;-(Cal.) XII. 107-2-3. This passage seems to have been the product of a much later period, but it may be taken as reflecting conditions in the later Vedic period.
