Manu 5.36
असंस्कृतान् पशून् मन्त्रैर् न-अद्याद् विप्रः कदा चन । मन्त्रैस् तु संस्कृतान् अद्यात्-शाश्वतं विधिम् आस्थितः ॥
asaṃskṛtān paśūn mantrair na-adyād vipraḥ kadā cana | mantrais tu saṃskṛtān adyāt-śāśvataṃ vidhim āsthitaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A Brāhmaṇa must never eat (the flesh of) animals unhallowed by Mantras; but, obedient to the primeval law, he may eat it, consecrated with Vedic texts.
