केशान्तिको ब्राह्मणस्य दण्डः कार्यः) प्रमाणतः । ललाटसम्मितो राज्ञः स्यात्) तु नासान्तिको विशः ॥
keśāntiko brāhmaṇasya daṇḍaḥ kāryaḥ) pramāṇataḥ | lalāṭasammito rājñaḥ syāt) tu nāsāntiko viśaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The staff of a Brāhmaṇa shall be made of such length as to reach the end of his hair; that of a Kshatriya, to reach his forehead; (and) that of a Vaiśya, to reach (the tip of his) nose.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
