शूद्रस्तु यजमानश्चेन्नपपस्त्रैर्गुरुं पुनः ।
संपूज्य दक्षिणां दत्वाततस्तेनैव वापयेत् ॥ ६८ ॥

Note! The following is not a translation of the above verse, but merely an arbitrary extract of the English text.

If a śūdra is performing the sacrifice, he should not again cleanse his spiritual master with his weapons. After worshiping the deity, one should offer alms to the deity and then cook with the same water.
