Manu 5.3
स तान् उवाच धर्मआत्मा महर्षीन् मानवो भृगुः । श्रूयतां येन दोषेण मृत्युर् विप्रान् जिघांसति ॥
sa tān uvāca dharma.ātmā maharṣīn mānavo bhṛguḥ | śrūyatāṃ yena doṣeṇa mṛtyur viprān jighāṃsati ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Righteous Bhrzgu, the son of Manu, (thus) answered the great sages: ' Hear, (in punishment) of what faults Death seeks to shorten the lives of Brāhmaṇas! '
