Manu 2.83

एकाक्षरं परं ब्रह्म प्राणायामः परं तपः । सावित्र्यास् तु परं न-अस्ति) मौनात् सत्यं विशिष्यते) ॥

ekākṣaraṃ paraṃ brahma prāṇāyāmaḥ paraṃ tapaḥ | sāvitryās tu paraṃ na-asti) maunāt satyaṃ viśiṣyate) ||

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

The monosyllable (Om) is the highest Brahman, (three) suppressions of the breath are the best (form of) austerity, but nothing surpasses the Savitri; truthfulness is better than silence.

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