Manu 4.255
यो ऽअन्यथा सन्तम् आत्मानम् अन्यथा सत्सु भाषते) । स पापकृत्तमो लोके स्तेन आत्मअपहारकः ॥
yo 'anyathā santam ātmānam anyathā satsu bhāṣate) | sa pāpakṛttamo loke stena ātma.apahārakaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
He who describes himself to virtuous (men), in a manner contrary to truth, is the most sinful (wretch) in this world; he is a thief who makes away with his own self.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
