Manu 12.56
कृमिकीटपतङ्गानां विष्भुजां च-एव पक्षिणाम् । हिंस्राणां च-एव सत्त्वानां सुरापो ब्राह्मणो व्रजेत्) ॥
kṛmi.kīṭa.pataṅgānāṃ viṣ.bhujāṃ ca-eva pakṣiṇām | hiṃsrāṇāṃ ca-eva sattvānāṃ surāpo brāhmaṇo vrajet) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A Brāhmaṇa who drinks (the spirituous liquor called) Sura shall enter (the bodies) of small and large insects, of moths, of birds, feeding on ordure, and of destructive beasts.
