Verse 13.58.35

अपरेषां परेषां च परेभ्यश्चैव ये परे ।
क्षत्रियाणां प्रतपतां तेजसा च बलेन च ।
ब्राह्मणेष्वेव शाम्यन्ति तेजांसि च तपांसि च ॥ ३५ ॥

apareṣāṃ pareṣāṃ ca parebhyaścaiva ye pare |
kṣatriyāṇāṃ pratapatāṃ tejasā ca balena ca |
brāhmaṇeṣveva śāmyanti tejāṃsi ca tapāṃsi ca || 35 ||

...Vedas, and preeminent for acts, conduct, and penances. If such Brahmanas do not accept your gifts, no merit becomes thine. Do you perform sacrifices with copious Dakshina, and make gifts of good and agreeable food unto those that are righteous...
