Manu 5.31
यज्ञाय जग्धिर् मांसस्य-इत्य् एष दैवो विधिः स्मृतः । अतो ऽअन्यथा प्रवृत्तिस् तु राक्षसो विधिर् उच्यते ॥
yajñāya jagdhir māṃsasya-ity eṣa daivo vidhiḥ smṛtaḥ | ato 'anyathā pravṛttis tu rākṣaso vidhir ucyate ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
* The consumption of meat (is befitting) for sacrifices,' that is declared to be a rule made by the gods; but to persist (in using it) on other (occasions) is said to be a proceeding worthy of Rakshasas.
