Sanskrit Text
यः
सहस्रं
सहस्राणां
भोजयेदनृचां
नरः
।
एकस्तान्मन्त्रवित्प्रीतः
सर्वानर्हति
भारत
॥
English Translation
This is saying, O king, of the Vaikhanasa Rishis. Brahmanas knowing the Vedas should be examined from a distance. Whether one likes them or not, one should give to such Brahmanas the offerings made at Shraddhas. That man who feeds thousands upon thousands of unworthy Brahmanas acquires merit that is attainable by feeding even one Brahmana if the latter happens to be endued with a knowledge of the Vedas, o Bharata!
