“Whenever a brāhmaṇa takes birth, three debts are born along with him. He can pay his debt to the sages by celibacy, his debt to the demigods by sacrifice, and his debt to his forefathers by begetting children.”

«Siempre que un brāhmaṇa nace, tres deudas nacen junto con él. Él puede pagar su deuda con los sabios mediante el celibato, su deuda con los semidioses mediante el sacrificio y su deuda con sus antepasados ​​mediante la procreación de hijos».
