Sanskrit

यथा पङ्केन पङ्काम्भ: सुरया वा सुराकृतम् । भूतहत्यां तथैवैकां न यज्ञैर्मार्ष्टुमर्हति ॥ ५२ ॥

Transliteration

yathā paṅkena paṅkāmbhaḥ surayā vā surākṛtam bhūta-hatyāṁ tathaivaikāṁ na yajñair mārṣṭum arhati
Synonyms
yathā — as much as; paṅkena — by the mud; paṅka-ambhaḥ — water mixed with mud; surayā — by wine; vā — either; surākṛtam — impurity caused by the slight touch of wine; bhūta-hatyām — killing of animals; tathā — like that; eva — certainly; ekām — one; na — never; yajñaiḥ — by the prescribed sacrifices; mārṣṭum — to counteract; arhati — is worthwhile.

Translation

As it is not possible to filter muddy water through mud, or purify a wine-stained pot with wine, it is not possible to counteract the killing of men by sacrificing animals.
