Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Shanti Parva Chapter 165 · Verse 65
Sanskrit Original
मांसं मूत्रं पुरीषं च प्राश्य संस्कारमर्हति। ब्राह्मणास्तु सुरापस्य गन्धमादाय सोमपः॥ अपस्त्र्यहं पिबेदुष्णं त्र्यहमुष्णं पयः पिबेत्। त्र्यहमुष्णं पयः पीत्वा वायुभक्षो भवेत् त्र्यहम्॥ एवमेतत् समुद्दिष्टं प्रायश्चित्तं सनातनम्। ब्राह्मणस्य विशेषेण यदज्ञानेन सम्भवेत्॥
One who eats or drinks the flesh, ordure, or urine of a dog, a boar, a man, a cock or a camel must have the ceremony of putting on the sacred thread performed again. If a Somadrinking Brahmana smells alcohol from the mouth of one who has drunk it, he should drink warm water for three days or warm milk for the same period. Or, drinking warm water for three days he should live for that period upon air alone. These are the eternal injunctions prescribed for the expiation of sin, especially for a Brahmana who has perpetrated these sins through ignorance and want of judgement.
