Manu 2.18

तस्मिन् देशे य आचारः पारम्पर्यक्रमागतः । वर्णानां सअन्तरालानां स सदाचार उच्यते ॥

tasmin deśe ya ācāraḥ pāramparyakramāgataḥ | varṇānāṃ sa.antarālānāṃ sa sadācāra ucyate ||

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

The custom handed down in regular succession (since time immemorial) among the (four chief) castes (varṇa) and the mixed (races) of that country, is called the conduct of virtuous men.

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