Manu 3.78

यस्मात् त्रयो ऽअप्य् आश्रमिणो ज्ञानेन-अन्नेन च-अन्वहम् । गृहस्थेन-एव धार्यन्ते तस्माज् ज्येष्ठाश्रमो गृही ॥ [क्:गृहम् ]

yasmāt trayo 'apy āśramiṇo jñānena-annena ca-anvaham | gṛhasthena-eva dhāryante tasmāj jyeṣṭhāśramo gṛhī || [K:gṛham ]

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

Because men of the three (other) orders are daily supported by the householder with (gifts of) sacred knowledge and food, therefore (the order of) householders is the most excellent order.

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