Brāhmanahatya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brāhmanahatya (also known as Brahma Hatya) is Sanskrit for "the act of killing a Brahmin". Puranic Hinduism considers this act to be a major sin, worse than "ordinary" murder.
In a story involving Indra and Vritra, Brāhmanahatya is personified as a hideous goddess.
