Manu 5.38
यावन्ति पशुरोमाणि तावत्कृत्वो ह मारणम् । वृथापशुघ्नः प्राप्नोति प्रेत्य जन्मनि जन्मनि ॥
yāvanti paśuromāṇi tāvatkṛtvo ha māraṇam | vṛthāpaśughnaḥ prāpnoti pretya janmani janmani ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
As many hairs as the slain beast has, so often indeed will he who killed it without a (lawful) reason suffer a violent death in future births. ~-
