By perishing by the weapons of a person living by the use of arms, of one's own accords and upon the advice of persons read in the scriptures, or by throwing one's self down, for three times, with head downwards, upon a burning fire, or by walking a hundred Yojanas reciting the Vedas, or by presenting one's all to a Brahmana well read in the Vedas, or at least so much by which he would live comfortably for life, or a house properly furnished, and by protecting kine and Brahmanas, one may be purged of the sin of Brahmanicide.
