Sanskrit - 2

[Guest]

thanks HHji and AKji.

Sri sUta further gets into the topic of bramhaghAta (bramhanicide), and reveals that there is only one place on earth - Setu, that can free one from the sin of bramhaghAta (with exception to mahAkapAlIkapurI vArANasyaH).

But contrary to the common understanding of bramhaghAta, he says bramhaghAta is more than just killing a brAmhaNa:

mArgabhedI svArthapAkI yatibrAmhaNadUSakaH, atyAshI vedavikretA panchaite bramhaghAtakAH

does it accurately translate to:

{These are the five types of bramha-ghatak-s : violating the path/tradition, cooking/eating for oneself without ritual offering, defiling bramhaNa-ascetics, being highly greedy, and selling out the Vedas.}

thanks as always
