न-अद्याद् अविधिना मांसं विधिज्ञो ऽअनापदि द्विजः । जग्ध्वा ह्य् अविधिना मांसं प्रेतस् तैर् अद्यते ऽअवशः ॥
na-adyād avidhinā māṃsaṃ vidhijño 'anāpadi dvijaḥ | jagdhvā hy a.vidhinā māṃsaṃ pretas tair adyate 'a.vaśaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A twice-born man who knows the law, must not eat meat except in conformity with the law; for if he has eaten it unlawfully, he will, unable to save himself, be eaten after death by his (victims).
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
