Manu 5.37
कुर्याद् घृतपशुं सङ्गे कुर्यात् पिष्टपशुं तथा । न त्व् एव तु वृथा हन्तुं पशुम् इच्छेत् कदा चन ॥
kuryād ghṛtapaśuṃ saṅge kuryāt piṣṭapaśuṃ tathā | na tv eva tu vṛthā hantuṃ paśum icchet kadā cana ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
If he has a strong desire (for meat) he may make an animal of clarified butter or one of flour, (and eat that); but let him never seek to destroy an animal without a (lawful) reason.
