Sanskrit Text
रङ्गावतरणं
चैव
तथा
रूपोपजीवनम्
।
मद्यमांसोपजीव्यं
च
विक्रयो
लोहचर्मणोः
॥
English Translation
Appearance on the stage and disguising oneself in various forms, exhibition of puppets, the sale of spirits and meat, and trading in iron and leather, should never be adopted for purposes of a living by one who had never before been engaged in those callings every one of which is regarded as censurable in the world. We have heard that if one engaged in them can renounce them, he acquires great merit.
