Manu 5.35
नियुक्तस् तु यथान्यायं यो मांसं न-अत्ति मानवः । स प्रेत्य पशुतां याति संभवान् एकविंशतिम् ॥
niyuktas tu yathānyāyaṃ yo māṃsaṃ na-atti mānavaḥ | sa pretya paśutāṃ yāti saṃbhavān ekaviṃśatim ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
But a man who, being duly engaged (to officiate or to dine at a sacred rite), refuses to eat meat, becomes after death an animal during twentyone existences.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
