Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The manes are primeval deities, freejfrom anger, careful of purity, ever chaste, averse from strife, and endowed with great virtues.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
