अर्थकामेष्व् असक्तानां धर्मज्ञानं विधीयते । धर्मं जिज्ञासमानानां प्रमाणं परमं श्रुतिः ॥
artha.kāmeṣv a.saktānāṃ dharmajñānaṃ vidhīyate | dharmaṃ jijñāsamānānāṃ pramāṇaṃ paramaṃ śrutiḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The knowledge of the sacred law is prescribed for those who are not given to the acquisition of wealth and to the gratification of their desires; to those who seek the knowledge of the sacred law the supreme authority is the revelation (.Sruti).
