न द्रव्याणाम् अविज्ञाय) विधिं धर्म्यं प्रतिग्रहे । प्राज्ञः प्रतिग्रहं कुर्याद्) अवसीदन्न्) अपि क्षुधा ॥
na dravyāṇām a.vijñāya) vidhiṃ dharmyaṃ pratigrahe | prājñaḥ pratigrahaṃ kuryād) avasīdann) api kṣudhā ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Without a full knowledge of the rules, prescribed by the sacred law for the acceptance of presents, a wise man should not take anything, even though he may pine with hunger.
