*aśva-medham*—a sacrifice offering a horse; *gava-ālambham*—a sacrifice of cows; *sannyāsam*—the renounced order of life; *pala-paitṛkam*—an offering of oblations of flesh to the forefathers; *devareṇa*—by a husband's brother; *suta-utpattim*—begetting children; *kalau*—in the Age of Kali; *pañca*—five; *vivarjayet*—one must give up.

**“ 'In this Age of Kali, five acts are forbidden: the offering of a horse in sacrifice, the offering of a cow in sacrifice, the acceptance of the order of sannyāsa, the offering of oblations of flesh to the forefathers, and a man's begetting children in his brother's wife.'**

This is a quotation from the *Brahma-vaivarta Purāṇa*.
