Manu 3.17

शूद्रां शयनम् आरोप्य) ब्राह्मणो यात्य्) अधोगतिम् । जनयित्वा) सुतं तस्यां ब्राह्मण्याद् एव हीयते) ॥

śūdrāṃ śayanam āropya) brāhmaṇo yāty) adhogatim | janayitvā) sutaṃ tasyāṃ brāhmaṇyād eva hīyate) ||

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

A Brāhmaṇa who takes a Sudra wife to his bed, will (after death) sink into hell; if he begets a child by her, he will lose the rank of a Brāhmaṇa.
