Manu 2.99 — Manu-Smrti

Manu 2.99

इन्द्रियाणां तु सर्वेषां यद्य् एकं क्षरति)-इन्द्रियम् । तेन-अस्य क्षरति) प्रज्ञा दृतेः पादाद् इव-उदकम् ॥

indriyāṇāṃ tu sarveṣāṃ yady ekaṃ kṣarati)-indriyam | tena-asya kṣarati) prajñā dṛteḥ pādād iva-udakam ||

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

But when one among all the organs slips away (from control), thereby (man's) wisdom slips away from him, even as the water (flows) through the one (open) foot of a (water-carrier's) skin.

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