Sanskrit Text

येषां हतानां मांसानि विक्रीणामो वयं द्विज तेषामपि भवेद्धर्म उपभोगेन भक्षणात् देवतातिथिभृत्यानां पितॄणां प्रतिपूजनात्

English Translation

O foremost of Brahmanas, we are but such agents in consequence of our Karma, O twiceborn one, those animals that are killed and the most of which are sold, also acquire Karma, for the celestials the guests and servants are entertained and Pitris are gratified with this dainty food.
