Sanskrit Original
भवेत् पण्डितमानी यो ब्राह्मणो वेदनिन्दकः। आन्वीक्षिकी तर्कविद्यामनुरक्तो निरर्थिकाम्॥ हेतुवादान् ब्रुवन् सत्सु विजेताहेतुवादिकः। आक्रोष्टा चातिवक्ता च ब्राह्मणानां सदैव हि॥ सर्वाभिशङ्की मूढच बालः कटुकवागपि। बोद्धव्यस्तादृशस्तात नरं श्वानं हि तं विदुः॥
That Brahinana who is proud of his learning, who speaks ill of the Vedas or who is given to the science of useless disputation, or who is desirous of acquiring victory in disputations) in assemblies of good men by disproving the reasons that exist for morality and religion and attributing everything to chance, or who indulges in censuring and reproaching others who reproves Brahmanas, or who is suspicious of all persons, or who is foolish and bereft of judgment, or who is bitter of speech, should be known to be as hateful as a dog.
