Those regions that are for the incendiary, or for the slayer of the kine, or for him that does injury to others or for him thai nourishes ill-will against the Brahınanas. Those regions that are for him who, out of foolishness, does not hold sexual intercourse with his wife during her season, those also that are for men who indulge in sexual intercourse on the day they have to perform a Shraddha, those that are for people who injure their own soul; those that are for men who appropriate things deposited with them out of trust or for those who destroy knowledge or for those who fight with the eunuchs or for those that follow thic mean; those regions that are for the atheists or those that arc for people who abandon the Fires and their own mother or those that are for the sinful,-those regions shall be ours.
