Manu 3.14
न ब्राह्मणक्षत्रिययोर् आपद्य् अपि हि तिष्ठतोः) । कस्मिंश् चिद् अपि वृत्तान्ते शूद्रा भार्या-उपदिश्यते) ॥
na brāhmaṇa.kṣatriyayor āpady api hi tiṣṭhatoḥ) | kasmiṃś cid api vṛttānte śūdrā bhāryā-upadiśyate) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A Śudra woman is not mentioned even in any (ancient) story as the (first) wife of a Brāhmaṇa or of a Kshatriya, though they lived in the (greatest) distress.
