Manu 12.23

एता दृष्ट्वा)-अस्य जीवस्य गतीः स्वेन-एव चेतसा । धर्मतो ऽअधर्मतश् च-एव धर्मे दध्यात्) सदा मनः ॥

etā dṛṣṭvā)-asya jīvasya gatīḥ svena-eva cetasā | dharmato 'adharmataś ca-eva dharme dadhyāt) sadā manaḥ ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Let (man), having recognised even by means of his intellect these transitions of the individual soul (which depend) on merit and demerit, always fix his heart on (the acquisition of) merit.

Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
