Sanskrit Text

शूद्रान्नेनावशेषेण जठरे यो म्रियेत वै आहिताग्निस्तथा यज्वा शूद्रगतिभाग्भवेत्

English Translation

If a Brahmana, who has set up the sacred fire and who performs sacrifices, were to die with any portion of a Shudra's food remaining undigested in his stomach, he is sure to be born a Shudra.
