Manu 4.242
तस्माद् धर्मं सहायार्थं नित्यं संचिनुयात्)- शनैः । धर्मेण हि सहायेन तमस् तरति) दुस्तरम् ॥
tasmād dharmaṃ sahāyārthaṃ nityaṃ saṃcinuyāt)- śanaiḥ | dharmeṇa hi sahāyena tamas tarati) dustaram ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Let him therefore always slowly accumulate spiritual merit, in order (that it may be his) companion (after death); for with merit as his companion he will traverse a gloom difficult to traverse.
