Manu 5.29

चराणाम् अन्नम् अचरा दंष्ट्रिणाम् अप्य् अदंष्ट्रिणः । अहस्ताश् च सहस्तानां शूराणां च-एव भीरवः ॥

carāṇām annam a.carā daṃṣṭriṇām apy a.daṃṣṭriṇaḥ | a.hastāś ca sa.hastānāṃ śūrāṇāṃ ca-eva bhīravaḥ ||

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

What is destitute of motion is the food of those endowed with locomotion; (animals) without fangs (are the food) of those with fangs, those without hands of those who possess hands, and the timid of the bold.

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