Those who do not revere men nor make offerings are neither brahmanas nor sons of a householder. They have taken to speech that is sinful; they were born ignorant of right ordinance.

Those who do not walk (with the Brāhmaṇas) in this lower world not (with the gods) in the upperworld-- they are neither Brāhmaṇas nor offerers of libations; they, devoid of wisdom, attaining Speech, havingsin producing (Speech), becoming plural ughmen pursue agriculture.

Those men who step not back and move not forward, nor Brahmans nor preparers of libations, Having attained to Vak in sinful fashion spin out their thread in ignorance like spinsters.
