गवां कोटिप्रदानेन भूमिहर्तान शुद्ध्यति ।
ब्रह्मस्वं ब्रह्महत्या च दरिद्रस्य च यद्धनम् ॥ ४९२ ॥

gavāṃ koṭipradānena bhūmihartāna śuddhyati |
brahmasvaṃ brahmahatyā ca daridrasya ca yaddhanam || 492 ||

By giving away crores of cows one is purified of those who steal land. The property of a brāhmaṇa is the killing of a brāhmaṇa, and the wealth of a poor person is the same.
