Manu 10.28
यथा त्रयाणां वर्णानां द्वयोर् आत्मा-अस्य जायते) । आनन्तर्यात् स्वयोन्यां तु तथा बाह्येष्व् अपि क्रमात् ॥ [म्क्रमः]
yathā trayāṇāṃ varṇānāṃ dvayor ātmā-asya jāyate) | ānantaryāt svayonyāṃ tu tathā bāhyeṣv api kramāt || [M.kramaḥ]
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
As a (Brāhmaṇa) begets on (females of) two out of the three (twice-born castes a son similar to) himself, (but inferior) on account of the lower degree (of the mother), and (one equal to himself) on a female of his own race, even so is the order in the case of the excluded (races, vahya).
