Manu 4.135

क्षत्रियं च-एव सर्पं च ब्राह्मणं च बहुश्रुतम् । न-अवमन्येत) वै भूष्णुः कृशान् अपि कदा चन ॥

kṣatriyaṃ ca-eva sarpaṃ ca brāhmaṇaṃ ca bahu.śrutam | na-avamanyeta) vai bhūṣṇuḥ kṛśān api kadā cana ||

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

Let him who desires prosperity, indeed, never despise a Kshatriya, a snake, and a learned Brāhmaṇa, be they ever so feeble.

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