Manu 2.162

सम्मानाद् ब्राह्मणो नित्यम् उद्विजेत) विषाद् इव । अमृतस्य-इव च-आकाङ्क्षेद्) अवमानस्य सर्वदा ॥

sammānād brāhmaṇo nityam udvijeta) viṣād iva | amṛtasya-iva ca-ākāṅkṣed) avamānasya sarvadā ||

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

A Brāhmaṇa should always fear homage as if it were poison; and constantly desire (to suffer) scorn as (he would long for) nectar.

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