Savitri said—О lord, well-versed in the Vedas, how is the killing of the cow, killing of a Brahmana and a guest is killed? What are the places beyond the reach of human beings? Who are the people deprived of the performing of sandhya and those receiving charity at the sacred places? Who are the Brahmanas performing yajna in villages, who is the Brahmana serving as a pitjarl in a temple, a store-keeper of the Sudras and the husband of a wicked woman? You kindly enlighten me on the subject in detail.
Yama said— О beautiful one, the person who adores the image of lord Krsna made of earth and also the goddess Durga, Sivalinga, SUrya, Sfiryamani and Ganesa making a distinction between them attract the sin of Brahmahatya.
The one who discriminates among his teachers, the family gods, the parents who have given birth to him, attracts the sin of Brahmahatya..
The one who equates the Vaisnavas, other worshippers, Brahmanas and the devotees of other races, attracts Brahmahatya. The one who equates the naivedya of Visnu with others, the water of the feet of the lord with the water of other gods, attracts Brahmahatya.
The one who equates with other gods, lord Krs na who is the cause of all the causes, the eternal Brahman, served by all the gods, soul of all of them, who takes to many fonns with his illusion or remains invisible, he attracts Brahmahatya.
The one who does not follow the tradition prescribed by the gods and the manes and creates obstructions for the same, attracts Brahmahatya.
The one who denounces lord Visnu who is the purifier of all and also his mantras and the devotees, attracts Brahmahatya.
Lord Siva is the form of welfare, is extremely dear to lord Krsna more than his life. He is the purifier of the purified people, blissful, eternal, the best of gods and is eternal the lord, the one who does not adore him denouncing him at the same time, attracts the sin of Brahmahatya. The illusion of lord Visnu bestows devotion, is quite chaste, is completely the form of strength, the universal mother, the form of all the goddesses, the beginning of all, adorable by all and is the cause of all, whosoever denounces her attracts Brahmahatya.
The birth-day of lord Krsna is quite meritorious and the best of all besides and the birth day of Rama, Sivaratri, Ekddasi and Sundays are considered to be quite auspicious. Those who do not perform vrata on these days, become sinners like the Candala and attract Brahmahatya.
О daughter, the one who cleanses himself with the water accumulated in the pits fonned by the waves of the water, attracts the sin of Brahmahatya. The one who does not maintain his teacher, his parents, chaste wife, the son, the daughter and other orphans, according to his own position, attracts Brahmahatya.
The one who does not get married, the one who does not see the face of a son, the one who is deprived of the devotion of the lord, attracts Brahmahatya.
The one who does not take the naivedya of lord Visnu, does not adore the Sivalihga daily, attracts Brahmahatya.
The one who obstructs a cow from eating fodder or drinking water or the one who walks between a cow and a Brahmana attracts Brahmahatya.
Such a foolish Brahmana who beats a cow with a rod or yokes her to the plough, daily attracts the sin of killing a cow. There is no doubt about it.
The one who feeds the cows with the left-over and performs yajha for Suras or drives a bull and also eats the food supplied by the driver of the bull surely attracts Brahmahatya.
The one who performs yajha for the husband of a Siidra woman and eats the food supplied by her, attracts the sin of killing hundreds of cows. There is no doubt about it.
The one who places his feet towards the fire or kicks the cow, roams about in the house without washing his feet, surely attracts gohatya.
The one who consumes food after rubbing oil in his feet and then sleeps or eats his food twice in the morning, attracts the sin of gohatya.
Such a Brahmana who takes food from a widow with his family or maintains his livelihood by evil ways and does not perform sandhya during all the three times, surely attracts the sin of gohatya (killing of cow). The one who does not serve the manes on their death anniversaries nor serve the gods or the guest, surely attracts the sin of Brahmahatya.
A woman who does not equate her husband with lord Krsna and then injures her feeling with harsh words, she surely attracts the sin of gohatya.

The one who always has a negative approach, is deceitful and speaks falsehood always, becomes envious of the gods and the teachers surely attracts the sin of Brahmahatya. The one who does not bow in reverence before the image of the god, a teacher and a Brahmana, surely attracts the sin of Brahmahatya.
The Brahmana who does not shower his blessing on someone getting annoyed or does not impart knowledge to the students, surely attracts the sin of gohatya. I have thus told you everything about gohatya (killing of cow) and Brahmahatya (killing of Brahmana) What more do you want to listen to from me?
Savitri said—You tell me about the real difference between merit and sin and their increase or decrease.
Yama said— О chaste lady, sometimes the reality prevails and sometimes the unreality overpowers reality. Sometimes both of them run paralleled. The Vedas are the evidence for the same, the one who does not believe in this evidence attracts the sin of killing a teacher.
It’s always good to honour a Brahmana, the teacher who imparts learnings or the mantra as your own father.
The mother is adorable a hundred times more than the father and the teacher who imparts learnings and the mantra is equally adorable. This is ordained by the Vedas.
The glory of the teacher’s wife is to be held in the highest esteem. She is to be adored like a goddess.
The Brahmana is adorable like Siva but a valorous king is adorable like lord Visnu but the reality is thousand times better than the unreality.
Similarly all the waters are like the water of Ganga and all the Brahmanas are like Vyasa. That is why they are equated with the time of the rolar or lunar eclipses.
Real killing is four times more sinful than fake killing. This is the opinion of the Vedas. This has been ordained by Brahma.
Thus I have spoken out to you the difference between real killing and fake killing. Now I tell you the place which is approachable by human beings. It is ordained in the Vedas that only one’s own spouse is approachable. This is a command for everyone therefore the other women are considered to be unapproachable. This has been ordained by the Vedas.
O beautiful one, I have told you about the ordinary difference in this regard and I am going to tell you about the specific difference in this connection. You please listen to me as to who is approachable and who is not? I am going to speak out the same.
О chaste lady, for Sudras a Brahmana girl is unapproachable while for a Brahmana a Sudra girl is unapproachable. This has been denounced in the Vedas.
Such a Sudra who enjoys the company of a Brahmana woman attracts the sin of a hundred Brahmahatyas and similarly the Brahmana lady also falls into the Kumbhlpaka hell.
If a Brahmana enjoys the company of a Sudra woman he is called the husband of a wicked woman. He falls from the Brahmana race and achieves the position of a Candala.
The pindas offered by him are treated like refuse and the tarpana offered by him is equated with urine, which is neither accepted by the manes nor the god.
Similarly the performing of sandhya., the adoration of the gods, besides the merits earned by him in many of his previous births, vanish with the company of a Sudra woman. There is no doubt about it.
The Brahmana who consumes liquor, the one who consumes the food on the Ekadasl day, surely falls in the Kumbhlpakas hell.
The wife of the teacher, the wife of the ruler, the step-mother, the mother, the daughter, the daughter-in-law, the wife of the real brother, the maternal-aunt, the mother of the father (grandmother), the mother of the mother, the sister of the mother, the sister, the daughter of the brother (niece), the student, the wife of the student, the wife of the son of the sister, the wife of brother’s son, all these women are unapproachable (and one should not cohabit with them.) This has been ordained by Brahma.
If any one enjoys the company of one’s own mother he falls into the hell. Such a person attracts several of the Brahmahatyas. This has been ordained in the Vedas.
He becomes an untouchable, is incapable of performing good deeds and is denounced in public, finally falling into the terrific hell.
The one who performs incomplete sandhya or does not perform it at all or does not perform the sandhya thrice, such a type of Brahmana is deprived of the sandhya performing.
Such of the person who does not accept the mantras of Vishnu, Siva, Sakti and Ganpati out of arrogance is called a person without the diksa.
The land extending to the four feet of the river bank is called the Narayana-ksetra. Narayana himself happens to be the lord of the said region. In the Narayana-ksetra, Kuruksetra, Visnupada, Varanasi, Badarl, the confluence of the Ganga and the ocean, Puskara,. Bhaskara-ksetra, Prabhasa, Rasamandala, Haridvara, Kedara, Soma, Badrikas’rama, the banks of the Sarasvatl river, the sacred place of Vrndavana, Godavari, Kausikl, TrivenI and Himalaya are the sacred places. Whosoever accepts charities in these places has to fall into the Kumbhipaka hell.
Those who perform yajnas for the Siidras and in different villages, are called Gramayaji. Such of the people as earn their living by performing рща are called Pujaris.
The one who cooks food in the kitchen of the Siidras is called a Bhandarl. All these persons are deprived of sandhya and the adoration of the lord and are considered to be quite degraded.
In the earlier context the definition of the husband of a wicked woman has been described. Such a sinful person falls into the Kumbhipaka hell. I am now going to tell you about the people who fall in the other types of hells. You please listen to me.
