तद् वै राष्ट्रम् आ स्रवति नावं भिन्नाम् इवोदकम् । ब्रह्माणं यत्र हिंसन्ति तद् राष्ट्रं हन्ति दुछुना ॥८॥
tad vai rāṣṭram ā sravati nāvaṃ bhinnām ivodakam | brahmāṇaṃ yatra hiṃsanti tad rāṣṭraṃ hanti duchunā ||8||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
It leaks verily into that kingdom, as water into a split boat (nāú); where they injure a Brahman, that kingdom misfortune smites.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
