Manu 2.63
उद्धृते दक्षिने पाणाव् उपवीती-उच्यते) द्विजः । सव्ये प्राचीनावीती निवीती कण्ठसज्जने ॥
uddhṛte dakṣine pāṇāv upavītī-ucyate) dvijaḥ | savye prācīnāvītī nivītī kaṇṭhasajjane ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A twice-born man is called upavitin when his right arm is raised (and the sacrificial string or the dress, passed under it, rests on the left shoulder); (when his) left (arm) is raised (and the string, or the dress, passed under it, rests on the right shoulder, he is called) pra^inavitin; and nivitin when it hangs down (straight) from the neck.
